How to use Audio Plugin Example System Objects in a custom Plugin

Hello,

I realy like the Audio Plugin Examples . I want to use some of them as parts of my Plugin. However i find it realy hard to implement those that are System Objects.

for example i would like to have this filter and this eq in the plugin.

audiopluginexample.VarSlopeBandpassFilter

audiopluginexample.ParametricEqualizerWithUDP

i tried using the code available through "edit" ,but as they are system objects i cannot just do that. Object Names are fixed etc.

the Question is how do i implement them in a custom audio Plugin?

for example how can i make a plugin that passes audio from the audiopluginexample.VarSlopeBandpassFilter through the audiopluginexample.ParametricEqualizerWithUDP.

thanks in advance im stuck on that one for a while now.

Hi Adrian,

Take a look at the plugin below and see if this answers your needs. What this plugin does is essentially internally use a var-slope BP filter and a param EQ.

classdef ExampleEQ < audioPlugin

    %#codegen

    properties
        % Cutoff frequency in Hz
        LowCutoff = 20
        HighCutoff = 18e3;
        % Slope in dB/octave
        LowSlope = '12'
        HighSlope = '30'

        CenterFrequency1 = 100
        CenterFrequency2 = 1000
        CenterFrequency3 = 10000

        % Q factors for each band
        QualityFactor1 = 2
        QualityFactor2 = 2
        QualityFactor3 = 2

        % dB gain for each band
        PeakGain1 = 0
        PeakGain2 = 0
        PeakGain3 = 0

    end

    properties (Access = private)
        pVarSlopeBP
        pParamEQ
    end

thank you jibrahim !!

in your code i can work in a better way.

i can apply my signalproccessing in this function easily and i can change the name of the script without a problem .

function y = process(plugin,x)

z = plugin.pVarSlopeBP(x);

y = plugin.pParamEQ(z);

end

All i wanted excelent work ;) and very fast reply
