These must be implemented by the subclass. cannam@53: * cannam@53: * cannam@53: * PLUGIN LIFECYCLE cannam@3: * cannam@3: * Feature extraction plugins are managed differently from real-time cannam@3: * plugins (such as VST effects). The main difference is that the cannam@3: * parameters for a feature extraction plugin are configured before cannam@3: * the plugin is used, and do not change during use. cannam@3: * cannam@3: * 1. Host constructs the plugin, passing it the input sample rate. cannam@3: * The plugin may do basic initialisation, but should not do anything cannam@74: * computationally expensive at this point. You must make sure your cannam@74: * plugin is cheap to construct, otherwise you'll seriously affect the cannam@74: * startup performance of almost all hosts. If you have serious cannam@74: * initialisation to do, the proper place is in initialise() (step 5). cannam@3: * cannam@3: * 2. Host may query the plugin's available outputs. cannam@3: * cannam@3: * 3. Host queries programs and parameter descriptors, and may set cannam@3: * some or all of them. Parameters that are not explicitly set should cannam@3: * take their default values as specified in the parameter descriptor. cannam@3: * When a program is set, the parameter values may change and the host cannam@3: * will re-query them to check. cannam@3: * cannam@27: * 4. Host queries the preferred step size, block size and number of cannam@27: * channels. These may all vary depending on the parameter values. cannam@3: * (Note however that you cannot make the number of distinct outputs cannam@27: * dependent on parameter values.) cannam@3: * cannam@3: * 5. Plugin is properly initialised with a call to initialise. This cannam@3: * fixes the step size, block size, and number of channels, as well as cannam@3: * all of the parameter and program settings. If the values passed in cannam@3: * to initialise do not match the plugin's advertised preferred values cannam@3: * from step 4, the plugin may refuse to initialise and return false cannam@35: * (although if possible it should accept the new values). Any cannam@35: * computationally expensive setup code should take place here. cannam@3: * cannam@27: * 6. Host finally checks the number of values per output (which may cannam@27: * vary depending on the number of channels, step size and block size cannam@27: * as well as the parameter values). cannam@27: * cannam@27: * 7. Host will repeatedly call the process method to pass in blocks cannam@3: * of input data. This method may return features extracted from that cannam@3: * data (if the plugin is causal). cannam@3: * cannam@27: * 8. Host will call getRemainingFeatures exactly once, after all the cannam@3: * input data has been processed. This may return any non-causal or cannam@3: * leftover features. cannam@3: * cannam@27: * 9. At any point after initialise was called, the host may cannam@3: * optionally call the reset method and restart processing. (This cannam@3: * does not mean it can change the parameters, which are fixed from cannam@3: * initialise until destruction.) cannam@3: * cannam@3: * A plugin does not need to handle the case where setParameter or cannam@3: * selectProgram is called after initialise has been called. It's the cannam@35: * host's responsibility not to do that.
