Voice Management

struct Voice {
    uint8_t note;                    // MIDI note
    uint8_t velocity;                // Note velocity
    bool active;                     // Voice active flag
    float age;                       // Time since note on
    float targetFrequency;           // Target freq (Hz)
    float currentFrequency;          // Current freq with glide

    // Phase accumulators
    float osc1Phase, osc2Phase, subPhase;

Signal Flow

1. MIDI Note On → Allocate Voice
2. Calculate Frequencies → Apply Detune
3. Generate Oscillators:
   - OSC1 (4 waveforms)
   - OSC2 (4 waveforms, detuned)
   - SUB (1 octave down)
   - NOISE (white/pink)
4. Mix Oscillators → Apply Levels
5. Process Filter:
   - Cutoff modulated by Filter Envelope
   - Resonance + Drive
6. Apply VCA:
   - Amplitude Envelope
   - Velocity Sensitivity
7. Output → Stereo Buffer

Envelope Implementation

// ADSR States
enum EnvState {
    ENV_IDLE,      // No note
    ENV_ATTACK,    // Note on, rising
    ENV_DECAY,     // Falling to sustain
    ENV_SUSTAIN,   // Held at sustain level
    ENV_RELEASE    // Note off, falling to zero
};

// Per-sample envelope update
void updateEnvelope(Voice& voice,
                   float attack, float decay,
                   float sustain, float release,
                   EnvState& state, float& level,
                   float deltaTime) {
    // State machine update
    // Smooth transitions between stages
}

Oscillator Rendering

float renderOscillator(float phase, int waveform) {
    switch (waveform) {
        case 0: // Saw
            return 2.0f * phase - 1.0f;
        case 1: // Square
            return (phase < 0.5f) ? 1.0f : -1.0f;
        case 2: // Triangle
            return (phase < 0.5f) ?
                   (4.0f * phase - 1.0f) :
                   (3.0f - 4.0f * phase);
        case 3: // Sine
            return std::sin(TWO_PI * phase);
    }
}

Características: - Band-limited waveforms (en producción usaría BLEP) - Phase accumulation precisa - Anti-aliasing (simplificado por ahora)

Filter Implementation

float processFilter(float input, float cutoff,
                   float resonance, float& state) {
    // Simple one-pole lowpass
    float normalized = cutoff / (sampleRate * 0.5f);
    normalized = std::clamp(normalized, 0.0f, 0.99f);
    state = state + normalized * (input - state);
    return state;
}

Nota: En producción se usaría: - SVF (State Variable Filter) para multimode - Ladder Filter para resonancia vintage - Oversampling para reducir aliasing
