Across the entire audio system, audio now works in 0-1 terms instead of
0-100 as before. Therefore, volume is now a double instead of an int.
The master volume of the AudioServer changes smoothly through a
FadingProperty, preventing clicks. Finally, volume computations are done
with logarithmic scaling, which is more natural for the human ear.
Note that this could be 4-5 different commits, but as they change each
other's code all the time, it makes no sense to split them up.
And also try_create<T> => try_make_ref_counted<T>.
A global "create" was a bit much. The new name matches make<T> better,
which we've used for making single-owner objects since forever.
This is the first step in transitioning Piano to a full LibDSP backend.
For now, the delay effect is replaced with a (mostly identical)
implementation in LibDSP.
The new ProcessorParameterSlider attaches to a LibDSP::Processor's
range parameter (LibDSP::ProcessorRangeParameter) and changes it
automatically. It also has the ability to update an external GUI::Label.
This is used for the three delay parameters and it will become useful
for auto-generating UI for Processors.
As Piano will later move to the RollNote defintions of LibDSP, it's a
good idea to already insert velocity and pitch support, even though it's
currently not used.
1) The Sound Player visualizer couldn't deal with small sample buffers,
which occur on low sample rates. Now, it simply doesn't update its
buffer, meaning the display is broken on low sample rates. I'm not too
familiar with the visualizer to figure out a proper fix for now, but
this mitigates the issue (and "normal" sample rates still work).
2) Piano wouldn't buffer enough samples for small sample rates, so the
sample count per buffer is now increased to 2^12, introducing minor
amounts of (acceptable) lag.
All audio applications (aplay, Piano, Sound Player) respect the ability
of the system to have theoretically any sample rate. Therefore, they
resample their own audio into the system sample rate.
LibAudio previously had its loaders resample their own audio, even
though they expose their sample rate. This is now changed. The loaders
output audio data in their file's sample rate, which the user has to
query and resample appropriately. Resampling code from Buffer, WavLoader
and FlacLoader is removed.
Note that these applications only check the sample rate at startup,
which is reasonable (the user has to restart applications when changing
the sample rate). Fully dynamic adaptation could both lead to errors and
will require another IPC interface. This seems to be enough for now.
This allows for typing [8] instead of [8, 8, 8, 8] to specify the same
margin on all edges, for example. The constructors follow CSS' style of
specifying margins. The added constructors are:
- Margins(int all): Sets the same margin on all edges.
- Margins(int vertical, int horizontal): Sets the first argument to top
and bottom margins, and the second argument to left and right margins.
- Margins(int top, int vertical, int bottom): Sets the first argument to
the top margin, the second argument to the left and right margins,
and the third argument to the bottom margin.
Applications previously had to create a GUI::Menubar object, add menus
to it, and then call GUI::Window::set_menubar().
This patch introduces GUI::Window::add_menu() which creates the menubar
automatically and adds items to it. Application code becomes slightly
simpler as a result. :^)
AK's version should see better inlining behaviors, than the LibM one.
We avoid mixed usage for now though.
Also clean up some stale math includes and improper floatingpoint usage.
Piano is an old application that predates AudioServer. For this reason,
it was architected to directly talk to the soundcard via the /dev/audio
device. This caused multiple problems including simultaneous playback
issues, no ability to change volume/mute for Piano and more.
This change moves Piano to use AudioServer like any well-behaved audio
application :^) The track processing and IPC communication is moved to
the main thread because IPC doesn't like multi-threading. For this, the
new AudioPlayerLoop class is utilized that should evolve into the
DSP->AudioServer interface in the future.
Because Piano's CPU utilization has gotten so low (about 3-6%), the UI
update loop is switched back to render at exactly 60fps.
This is an important commit on the road to #6528.
This changes (context) menus across the system to conform to titlecase
capitalization and to not underline the same character twice (for
accessing actions with Alt).
Problem:
- `typedef`s are read backwards making it confusing.
- `using` statements can be used in template aliases.
- `using` provides similarity to most other C++ syntax.
- C++ core guidelines say to prefer `using` over `typedef`:
https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#Rt-using
Solution:
- Switch these where appropriate.
Since applications using Core::EventLoop no longer need to create a
socket in /tmp/rpc/, and also don't need to listen for incoming
connections on this socket, we can remove a whole bunch of pledges!
Not sure why some menus did have one and others didn't, even in the
same application - now they all do. :^)
I added character shortcuts to some menu actions as well.
This commit unifies methods and method/param names between the above
classes, as well as adds [[nodiscard]] and ALWAYS_INLINE where
appropriate. It also renamed the various move_by methods to
translate_by, as that more closely matches the transformation
terminology.
This patch implements a couple of enhancements to the synthesizer
engine:
* Each track has a volume control.
* The input and tooltips for all controls are improved.
* The noise channel is pitched, which allows for basic drum synthesis.
The Piano application used to perform very poorly due to unnecessary
draw calls. This is solved with two optimziations:
1. Don't draw the widgets as often as possible. The widgets are instead
at least updated every 150ms, except for other events.
2. Don't re-draw the entire piano roll sheet. The piano roll background,
excluding in-motion objects (notes, the play cursor), is only re-drawn
when its "viewport" changes.
A minor drawback of this change is that notes will appear on top of the
pitch labels if placed at the left edge of the roll. This is IMO
acceptable or may be changed by moving the text to the "foreground".

This patch makes everything consistent by replacing every other variant

Because it's what it really is. A frame is composed of 1 or more samples, in
the case of SerenityOS 2 (stereo). This will make it less confusing for
future mantainability.
Fixes#5736. The selected note value could also underflow if
you drag to the left, but the assert got triggered only in
case you're dragging past the end of the note roll.
When you reset() a Track, you need to set the piano roll iterators back
to the first notes.
Fixes#2578. The bug was due to pressing export between 2 notes - the
tracks were never told to go back to the first note.
(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
Now that WindowServer broadcasts the system theme using an anonymous
file, we need clients to pledge "recvfd" so they can receive it.
Some programs keep the "shared_buffer" pledge since it's still used for
a handful of things.
