SMixer2x1Fract32

Overview

2-input x 1-output smoothly varying mixer module

Discussion

Mixes 2 inputs into a single output. The mixing gain parameters are exponentially smoothed (first order IIR) at the sample rate, with the smoothingTime parameter determining the smoothing rate for both of the gain values. The module's .gain1 and .gain2 variables specify the target gains for the mixing process. The module's .currentGain1 and .currentGain2 variables specify the instantaneous gains applied, and these exponentially approach the target gains. At build time, .currentGain1 is set to .gain1 and .currentGain2 is set to .gain2. This causes the mixers to startup in a converged state.
