💡 Diseño Destacado

1. Clean Separation of Concerns

ICellL2 (pure interface)
    
CellBase (infrastructure)
    
ConcreteCell (DSP logic)

2. Real-Time Safety

// Atomic parameter updates
std::atomic<float> parameterValue;

// Lock-free processing
void processBlock(AudioBuffer& buffer) {
    // No allocations, no locks
}

3. Composability

void buildInternalGraph() {
    auto osc = createAtom<Oscillator>("osc1");
    auto filter = createAtom<Filter>("filter1");
    connectAtoms("osc1", 0, "filter1", 0);
    mapParameter(PARAM_CUTOFF, "filter1", Filter::CUTOFF);
}

4. Template-Based Atom Creation

template<typename AtomType, typename... Args>
AtomType* createAtom(const std::string& atomId, Args&&... args) {
    auto atom = std::make_unique<AtomType>(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
    // ... register and return
}

5. Extensible Parameter System

// Parameter curves
enum class ParameterCurve {
    LINEAR,         // y = x
    EXPONENTIAL,    // y = min * (max/min)^x
    LOGARITHMIC,    // y = x^2
    CUSTOM          // User-defined
};
