bw_chorus

Description

Chorus / vibrato / flanger with variable rate and amount.

It outputs a mix of the dry input signal with itself going through a modulated delay and an optional feedback, as explained in

J. Dattorro, "Effect Design, Part 2: Delay-Line Modulation and Chorus", J. Audio Eng. Soc., vol. 45, no. 10, pp. 764-788, October 1997.

bw_chorus_coeffs_is_valid()

static inline char bw_chorus_coeffs_is_valid(
	const bw_chorus_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_chorus_coeffs.

static inline char bw_chorus_state_is_valid(
	const bw_chorus_coeffs * BW_RESTRICT coeffs,

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_chorus_state.
