+TITLE:: FluidBufLoudness
+SUMMARY:: A Selection of Pitch Descriptors on a Buffer
+CATEGORIES:: Libraries>FluidDecomposition
+RELATED:: Guides/FluCoMa, Guides/FluidDecomposition, Classes/SpecCentroid, Classes/SpecFlatness, Classes/SpecCentroid, Classes/SpecPcile
+
+
+DESCRIPTION::
+This class implements three popular pitch descriptors, computed as frequency and the confidence in its value. It is part of the Fluid Decomposition Toolkit of the FluCoMa project.FOOTNOTE:: This was made possible thanks to the FluCoMa project ( http://www.flucoma.org/ ) funded by the European Research Council ( https://erc.europa.eu/ ) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 725899).::
+
+The process will return a multichannel buffer with two channels per input channel, one for pitch and one for the pitch tracking confidence. Each sample represents a value, which is every hopSize. Its sampling rate is sourceSR / hopSize.
+
+CLASSMETHODS::
+
+METHOD:: process
+	This is the method that calls for the pitch descriptor to be calculated on a given source buffer.
+
+ARGUMENT:: server
+	The server on which the buffers to be processed are allocated.
+
+ARGUMENT:: source
+	The index of the buffer to use as the source material to be pitch-tracked. The different channels of multichannel buffers will be processing sequentially.
+
+ARGUMENT:: startFrame
+	Where in the srcBuf should the process start, in sample.
+
+ARGUMENT:: numFrames
+	How many frames should be processed.
+
+ARGUMENT:: startChan
+	For multichannel srcBuf, which channel should be processed first.
+
+ARGUMENT:: numChans
+	For multichannel srcBuf, how many channel should be processed.
+
+ARGUMENT:: features
+	The destination buffer for the pitch descriptors.
+
+ARGUMENT:: kWeighting
+(describe argument here)
+
+ARGUMENT:: truePeak
+(describe argument here)
+
+ARGUMENT:: winSize
+(describe argument here)
+
+ARGUMENT:: hopSize
+(describe argument here)
+
+ARGUMENT:: action
+	A Function to be evaluated once the offline process has finished and all Buffer's instance variables have been updated on the client side. The function will be passed [features] as an argument.
+
+RETURNS::
+	Nothing, as the destination buffer is declared in the function call.
+
+EXAMPLES::
+
+code::
+// create a buffer with a short clicking sinusoidal burst (220Hz) starting at frame 8192 for 1024 frames
+(
+b = Buffer.sendCollection(s, (Array.fill(8192,{0}) ++ (Signal.sineFill(1203,[0,0,0,0,0,1],[0,0,0,0,0,0.5pi]).takeThese({|x,i|i>1023})) ++ Array.fill(8192,{0})));
+c = Buffer.new(s);
+)
+
+// listen to the source and look at the buffer
+b.play; b.plot;
+	d = Buffer.alloc(s,44100)
+// run the process with basic parameters
+(
+Routine{
+	t = Main.elapsedTime;
+	FluidBufLoudness.process(s, d, features: c);
+	(Main.elapsedTime - t).postln;
+}.play
+)
+
+// look at the analysis
+c.plot(minval:-130, maxval:6)
+// plot with a different range to appreciate the confidence:
+c.plot
+
+// The values are interleaved [pitch,confidence] in the buffer as they are on 2 channels: to get to the right frame, divide the SR of the input by the hopesize, then multiply by 2 because of the channel interleaving
+// here we are querying from one frame before (the signal starts at 8192, which is frame 16 (8192/512), therefore starting the query at frame 15, which is index 30.
+c.getn(30,10,{|x|x.postln})
+
+// observe that the first frame is silent, as expected. The next frame's confidence is low-ish, because the window is half full (window of 1024, overlap of 512). Then a full window is analysed, with strong confidence. Then another half full window, then silence, as expected.
+::
+
+STRONG::A stereo buffer example.::
+CODE::
+
+// load two very different files
+(
+b = Buffer.read(s,File.realpath(FluidBufLoudness.class.filenameSymbol).dirname.withTrailingSlash ++ "../AudioFiles/Tremblay-SA-UprightPianoPedalWide.wav");
+c = Buffer.read(s,File.realpath(FluidBufLoudness.class.filenameSymbol).dirname.withTrailingSlash ++ "../AudioFiles/Tremblay-AaS-AcousticStrums-M.wav");

+
+// composite one on left one on right as test signals
+FluidBufCompose.process(s, c, numFrames:b.numFrames, startFrame:555000,destStartChan:1, destination:b)
+b.play
+
+// create a buffer as destinations
+c = Buffer.new(s);
+
+//run the process on them

+    t = Main.elapsedTime;
+    FluidBufLoudness.process(s, b, features: c, winSize: 17640, hopSize:4410);
