## Use it in JUCE

CMake ([quick start](/docs/juce/index.md)):

```cmake
juce_add_module(path/to/sournd_engine)
target_include_directories(MyPlugin PRIVATE path/to/include)
target_link_libraries(MyPlugin PRIVATE sournd_engine path/to/libsournd_cabi.a)
```

C++:

```cpp
#include <sournd_engine/sournd_engine.h>

sournd::SourndEngine engine { "org.sournd.reverb.aulana" };
juce::AudioProcessorValueTreeState parameters { *this, nullptr, "Parameters",
    sournd::SourndEngineParameters::createLayout (engine) };
sournd::SourndEngineParameters bridge { engine, parameters };

// prepareToPlay
engine.prepare ({ sampleRate, (juce::uint32) maximumBlock, 2 });
bridge.prepare (sampleRate);
setLatencySamples ((int) engine.latency());

// processBlock
bridge.apply ((uint32_t) buffer.getNumSamples());
juce::dsp::AudioBlock<float> block { buffer };
engine.process (juce::dsp::ProcessContextReplacing<float> { block });

// get/setStateInformation: hold getCallbackLock() around saveState / loadState,
// so state work never overlaps processBlock (full example: /docs/juce/)
```

Plain C:

```c
sournd_engine *e = NULL;
if (sournd_engine_create("org.sournd.reverb.aulana", &e) == SOURND_OK) {
    sournd_engine_prepare(e, 48000.0, 512);
    sournd_engine_set_param(e, 0, 24); /* Pre-delay */
    sournd_engine_process(e, in, out, 2, frames);
    sournd_engine_destroy(e);
}
```

## How it is made

Original sOURnd design: stereo all-pass input diffusion feeding an eight-line feedback delay network with a Hadamard mixing matrix, per-line RT60 gains with first-order low/high shelving for frequency-dependent decay, and independent sinusoidal delay modulation.
