Classes
class	ParamSmoother< T >
	The ParamSmoother object performs parameter smoothing on GUI control information. You can choose linear or exponential smoothing. More...

class	PluginBase
	The PluginBase object is the base class for the Plugin Core object. More...

class	PluginCore
	The PluginCore object is the default PluginBase derived object for ASPiK projects. Note that you are fre to change the name of this object (as long as you change it in the compiler settings, etc...) More...

class	PluginParameter
	The PluginParameter object stores all of the data needed for any type of plugin parameter. It is a large object, but it is not complex as it really just stores LOTS of information about plugin parameters. More...

Detailed Description

handles the audio signal-processing and implements the DSP functionality
is straight C++ and does not contain any API-specific code, does not require any API-specific files or SDK components
does not link to any pre-compiled libraries
defines and maintains a set of PluginParameter objects, each of which corresponds to a GUI control or other plugin parameter that may be stored and loaded with DAW sessions and presets
defines factory presets for AU, VST and RAFX2 plugins (AAX factory presets are done in an entirely different manner and are discussed in Chapter 5)
exists independently from the PluginGUI and does not know, or need to know, of the PluginGUIs existence
does not create the PluginGUI object
does not hold a pointer to the PluginGUI object or share any resources with it

stores plugin parameters as atomic variables for thread-safe operation
encapsulates each parameter specific to the plugin as a C++ object
can store all types of input parameters; ints, floats, doubles, string-lists, and custom user types
can implement audio meters, complete with meter ballistics (attack and release times) and various envelope detection schemes: peak, MS, RMS and in linear or log format
implements optional automatic variable-binding to connect GUI parameter changes to plugin variables in a completely thread-safe manner across all APIs
has an optional auxiliary storage system to maintain other information along with any of the plugin parameters allowing you to easily customize and extend the object
implements optional parameter smoothing for glitch-free GUI controls with two types of smoothing available: linear and exponential
automatically implements four types of control tapering: linear, log, anti-log, and volt/octave
implements optional sample-accurate automation for VST3 plugins (VST3 is the only API that has a specification for sample-accurate automation)
