Detailed Description

Describes one of the sounds that a Synthesiser can play.

A synthesiser can contain one or more sounds, and a sound can choose which midi notes and channels can trigger it.

The SynthesiserSound is a passive class that just describes what the sound is - the actual audio rendering for a sound is done by a SynthesiserVoice. This allows more than one SynthesiserVoice to play the same sound at the same time.

override

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ appliesToNote()

virtual bool SynthesiserSound::appliesToNote ( int midiNoteNumber )

pure virtual

Returns true if this sound should be played when a given midi note is pressed.

The Synthesiser will use this information when deciding which sounds to trigger for a given note.

Implemented in SamplerSound.
