Chapter 3: Algorithm-Parameters 16
The following demo-code gives a general outline of the decoding process:
#define NOTHING -1
short compression = NOTHING;
short expansion = NOTHING;
short limiting = FALSE;
short masked;
// Parameter-value is passed in ‘value’
if (value & 0x8000)
limiting = TRUE;
masked = value & 0xff;
if (masked < 128)
{
compression = masked;
if (compression > 10) compression = 10;
}
else
{
expansion = 256 - masked;
if (expansion > 10) expansion = 10;
}
if (compression != NOTHING)
// Draw compression
if (expansion != NOTHING)
// Draw expansion
if (limiting)
// Draw limiting
3.12.3 Mutual Dependencies
• LMXOVR must never be higher than MHXOVR.
• MHXOVR must never be lower than LMXOVR.
• METERS (Meter-resolution) for each band are hard-linked, meaning that they will always
contain the same value. You should only choose to display and manipulate one of the parameters
(fx. METERS - Low Band).
• 0DBREF follows the same principle as METERS.
In each of the bands, the thresholds of the compressor and expander limit each other. The following
criteria must be met for each of the bands:
• Compressor-threshold must never be lower than Expander-threshold.
• Expander-threshold must never be higher than Compressor-threshold.
