bw_pink_filt

Description

Pinking filter.

This is a linear time-invariant filter approximately attenuating 3 dB/oct from about 0.000046 × Nyquist frequency to about 0.9 × Nyquist frequency. It can be used to turn white noise into pink noise (hence the name).

The filter design is based on

P. P. La Pastina and S. D'Angelo, "Optimal Integer Order Approximation of Fractional Order Filters", Proc. 24th Intl. Conf. Digital Audio Effects (DAFx20in21), pp. 89-96, Vienna, Austria, September 2021.

	float                                   x);

These function process one input sample x using coeffs, while using and updating state. They return the corresponding output sample.

In particular:

Whether sample rate scaling is enabled or not is unchecked even for debugging purposes.

bw_pink_filt_process()

static inline void bw_pink_filt_process(
	bw_pink_filt_coeffs * BW_RESTRICT coeffs,
	bw_pink_filt_state * BW_RESTRICT  state,
	const float *                     x,

	size_t                            n_samples);

Processes the first n_samples of the input buffer x and fills the first n_samples of the output buffer y, while using coeffs and both using and updating state.

bw_pink_filt_process_multi()

static inline void bw_pink_filt_process_multi(
	bw_pink_filt_coeffs * BW_RESTRICT                    coeffs,
	bw_pink_filt_state * BW_RESTRICT const * BW_RESTRICT state,

	size_t                                               n_channels,
	size_t                                               n_samples);

Processes the first n_samples of the n_channels input buffers x and fills the first n_samples of the n_channels output buffers y, while using the common coeffs and both using and updating each of the n_channels states.

bw_pink_filt_set_sample_rate_scaling()

static inline void bw_pink_filt_set_sample_rate_scaling(
	bw_pink_filt_coeffs * BW_RESTRICT coeffs,
	char                              value);

Sets whether the output should be scaled (value non-0) or not (0) according to the sample rate in coeffs.

In order to keep the magnitude response consistent at different sample rates, the output of this filter should be accordingly scaled. The 44100 Hz sample rate is used as a reference (that is, the scaling factor at that sample rate is 1.f).

Default value: 0 (off).

bw_pink_filt_get_scaling_k()

static inline float bw_pink_filt_get_scaling_k(
	const bw_pink_filt_coeffs * BW_RESTRICT coeffs);

Returns the sample rate scaling factor that is applied or would be applied if sample rate scaling were enabled, as stored in coeffs.

coeffs must be at least in the "sample-rate-set" state.

bw_pink_filt_coeffs_is_valid()

static inline char bw_pink_filt_coeffs_is_valid(
	const bw_pink_filt_coeffs * BW_RESTRICT coeffs);

Tries to determine whether coeffs is valid and returns non-0 if it seems to be the case and 0 if it is certainly not. False positives are possible, false negatives are not.

coeffs must at least point to a readable memory block of size greater than or equal to that of bw_pink_filt_coeffs.

bw_pink_filt_state_is_valid()

static inline char bw_pink_filt_state_is_valid(
	const bw_pink_filt_coeffs * BW_RESTRICT coeffs,
	const bw_pink_filt_state * BW_RESTRICT  state);

Tries to determine whether state is valid and returns non-0 if it seems to be the case and 0 if it is certainly not. False positives are possible, false negatives are not.

If coeffs is not BW_NULL extra cross-checks might be performed (state is supposed to be associated to coeffs).

state must at least point to a readable memory block of size greater than or equal to that of bw_pink_filt_state.
