In addition to the oscilloscope and loudness/peak detections, this
commit refactors all the channels between components (i.e.
ModelMessages and PlayerMessages) etc. into a new class Broker. This
was done because now we have one more goroutine running: a Detector,
where the loudness / true peak detection is done in another thread.
The different threads/components are only aware of the Broker and
communicate through it. Currently, it's just a collection of
channels, so it's many-to-one communication, but in the future,
we could change Broker to have many-to-one-to-many communication.
Related to #61
Also includes a refactoring of the List: all methods that accepted
or returned a [from, to] range now return a Range, which is
non-inclusive i.e. [start,end).
Also the assignUnitIds was slightly refactored & a new function
called assignUnitIdsForPatch was added, to assign all unit IDs for
an patch at once.
Closes#157, #163.
The Model was getting unmaintanable mess. This is an attempt to refactor/rewrite the Model so that data of certain type is exposed in standardized way, offering certain standard manipulations for that data type, and on the GUI side, certain standard widgets to tied to that data.
This rewrite closes#72, #106 and #120.
Always appending to the end and consuming from the front cause the
capacity of the slice regularly running out, resulting in new
allocation. With this change, we increment index when consuming
events and append to the end, and when we reset, we move index to 0
and empty slice. This way, we always reuse the allocated memory.
The -er suffix is more idiomatic for single method interfaces, and
the interface is not doing much more than converting the patch to a
synth. Names were updated throughout the project to reflect this
change. In particular, the "Service" in SynthService was not telling
anything helpful.
Throughout sointu, we assume stereo audiobuffers, but were passing
around []float32. This had several issues, including len(buf)/2 and
numSamples*2 type of length conversion in many places. Also, it
caused one bug in a test case, causing it to succeed when it should
have not (the test had +-1 when it should have had +-2). This
refactoring makes it impossible to have odd length buffer issues.
The RPC and sync library mechanisms were removed for now; they never really worked and contained several obvious bugs. Need to consider if syncs are useful at all during the compose time, or just used during intro.
