## Detailed Description

STK instrument abstract base class.

This class provides a common interface for all STK instruments.

by Perry R. Cook and Gary P. Scavone, 1995–2017.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual void stk::Instrmnt::clear | ( | void |  | ) |
| inline virtual

Reset and clear all internal state (for subclasses).

Not all subclasses implement a clear() function.

Reimplemented in stk::Saxofony, stk::BlowHole, stk::BandedWG, stk::VoicForm, stk::Flute, stk::Clarinet, stk::Bowed, stk::Brass, stk::Mandolin, stk::Mesh2D, stk::StifKarp, stk::BlowBotl, stk::Whistle, stk::Plucked, stk::Sitar, and stk::Modal.

29 {};

StkFloat stk::Instrmnt::lastOut | ( | unsigned int | channel = `0` | ) |
| inline

Return the specified channel value of the last computed frame.

The `channel` argument must be less than the number of output channels, which can be determined with the channelsOut() function (the first channel is specified by 0). However, range checking is only performed if STK_DEBUG is defined during compilation, in which case an out-of-range value will trigger an StkError exception.

91 if ( channel >= lastFrame_.channels() ) {
92 oStream_ << "Instrmnt::lastOut(): channel argument is invalid!";
93 handleError( StkError::FUNCTION_ARGUMENT );
94 }
95 #endif
96
97 return lastFrame_[channel];
98 }

virtual StkFloat stk::Instrmnt::tick | ( | unsigned int | channel = `0` | ) |
| pure virtual

Compute one sample frame and return the specified `channel` value.

For monophonic instruments, the `channel` argument is ignored.

Implemented in stk::BlowHole, stk::VoicForm, stk::Saxofony, stk::FM, stk::BandedWG, stk::Flute, stk::Shakers, stk::Mandolin, stk::Mesh2D, stk::StifKarp, stk::Bowed, stk::Brass, stk::Clarinet, stk::Modal, stk::BlowBotl, stk::Whistle, stk::Resonate, stk::Simple, stk::FMVoices, stk::Plucked, stk::Rhodey, stk::Wurley, stk::BeeThree, stk::Moog, stk::Sitar, stk::TubeBell, stk::Drummer, stk::PercFlut, stk::HevyMetl, and stk::Sampler.

virtual StkFrames& stk::Instrmnt::tick | ( | StkFrames & | frames,
|  | unsigned int | channel = `0`
| ) |  |
| pure virtual

Fill the StkFrames object with computed sample frames, starting at the specified channel.

The `channel` argument plus the number of output channels must be less than the number of channels in the StkFrames argument (the first channel is specified by 0). However, range checking is only performed if STK_DEBUG is defined during compilation, in which case an out-of-range value will trigger an StkError exception.

Implemented in stk::BlowHole, stk::VoicForm, stk::Saxofony, stk::FM, stk::BandedWG, stk::Flute, stk::Shakers, stk::Mandolin, stk::Mesh2D, stk::StifKarp, stk::Bowed, stk::Brass, stk::Clarinet, stk::Modal, stk::BlowBotl, stk::Whistle, stk::Resonate, stk::Simple, stk::FMVoices, stk::Plucked, stk::Rhodey, stk::Wurley, stk::BeeThree, stk::Moog, stk::Sitar, stk::TubeBell, stk::Drummer, stk::PercFlut, stk::HevyMetl, and stk::Sampler.
