I dont think that one is practical.
For example the distinction between the control output of an envelope
follower and the gain reduction output of a compressor, the follower is
inteded to drive eg. a filters cutoff, wheres the gain reduction is just
inteded to be viewed by the user as a clue as to what is going on.
Think this needs to go to LAD too...
Er, yeah, I didn't realise it wasn't.
I think there
was one more too, but I can't think what it was...
I remember one about sidechains or something. I don't know what a sidechain is,
though, I just recall seeing it somewhere :) There was a
suggestion on ardour-dev that a hint to say whether control outs
were supposed to be informative or a source of control data might help,
but I'm not sure about it.
Not sure what 'informative' means here... what information do we get if we
ignore the control data on the output? /* Hint RANDOMISABLE indicates that it's
meaningful to randomise the port
if the user hits a button. This is useful for the steps of control
sequencers, reverbs, and just about anything that's complex. A control
with this hint should not result in anything too suprising happening to
the user (eg. sudden +100dB gain would be unpleasant). */
#define LADSPA_HINT_RANDOMISABLE 0x80
'meaningful' is probably the wrong word, how about 'useful'?
The last sentance doesn't make sense, it should start "Randomising a
control"... I think.
Also, UK v's US spelling, is there a convention in the rest of the .h
file?
