Variable Documentation

kParameterIsAutomatable

const uint32_t kParameterIsAutomatable = 0x01

staticconstexpr

Parameter is automatable (real-time safe).

See also

Plugin::setParameterValue(uint32_t, float)

kParameterIsAutomable

const uint32_t kParameterIsAutomable = kParameterIsAutomatable

staticconstexpr

It was a typo, sorry..

kParameterIsBoolean

const uint32_t kParameterIsBoolean = 0x02

staticconstexpr

Parameter value is boolean.
It's always at either minimum or maximum value.

kParameterIsInteger

const uint32_t kParameterIsInteger = 0x04

staticconstexpr

Parameter value is integer.

kParameterIsLogarithmic

const uint32_t kParameterIsLogarithmic = 0x08

staticconstexpr

Parameter value is logarithmic.

kParameterIsOutput

const uint32_t kParameterIsOutput = 0x10

staticconstexpr

Parameter is of output type.
When unset, parameter is assumed to be of input type.

Parameter inputs are changed by the host and typically should not be changed by the plugin.
One exception is when changing programs, see Plugin::loadProgram().
The other exception is with parameter change requests, see Plugin::requestParameterValueChange().
Outputs are changed by the plugin and never modified by the host.

If you are targeting VST2, make sure to order your parameters so that all inputs are before any outputs.

kParameterIsTrigger

const uint32_t kParameterIsTrigger = 0x20 | kParameterIsBoolean

staticconstexpr

Parameter value is a trigger.
This means the value resets back to its default after each process/run call.
Cannot be used for output parameters.

Note

Only officially supported under LV2. For other formats DAF simulates the behaviour.

kParameterIsHidden

const uint32_t kParameterIsHidden = 0x40

staticconstexpr

Parameter should be hidden from the host and user-visible GUIs.
It is still saved and handled as any regular parameter, just not visible to the user (for example in a host generated GUI)
