Crate iced_audio

Iced Audio is an extension to the Iced GUI library with useful widgets for audio applications such as VST / LV2 plugins.

Installation

Add iced_audio as dependency in your Cargo.toml:

iced_audio = "0.6"

Or if you want to use the GitHub version of iced:

iced_audio = { git = "https://github.com/BillyDM/iced_audio", branch = "iced_git" }

Both Iced Audio and [Iced] move fast and the main and iced_git branch can contain breaking changes! If you want to learn about a specific release, check out [the release list].

Simple Usage Example

This crate assumes you know the basics of how to use Iced. If you haven't alreay, please check it out here.

use iced::{
    Align, Column, Container, Element, Length, Sandbox, Settings, Text,
};
// Import iced_audio modules.
use iced_audio::{
    h_slider, knob, tick_marks, v_slider, xy_pad, FloatRange, FreqRange,
    HSlider, IntRange, Knob, LogDBRange, Normal, VSlider, XYPad,
};

// The message when a parameter widget is moved by the user
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub enum Message {
    HSliderInt(Normal),
    VSliderDB(Normal),
    KnobFreq(Normal),
    XYPadFloat(Normal, Normal),
}

pub fn main() {
    App::run(Settings::default()).unwrap();
}

pub struct App {
    // The ranges handle converting the input/output of a parameter to and from
    // a usable value.
    //
    // There are 4 built-in options available for a range:
    //
    // * FloatRange - a linear range of f32 values
    // * IntRange - a discrete range of i32 values. This will cause the widget
    // to "step" when moved.
    // * LogDBRange - a logarithmic range of decibel values. Values around 0 dB
    // will increment slower than values farther away from 0 dB.
    // * FreqRange - a logarithmic range of frequency values. Each octave in
    // the 10 octave spectrum (from 20 Hz to 20480 Hz) is spaced evenly.
    //
