Ballast gives every part of a bassline one gain that brings it to the target
loudness, with no compression inside a part. Parts start at note starts,
detected from the audio or taken from MIDI, or on the host's beat grid, so a
patch change on the same note counts too.
- Loudness is K-weighted over each part's first 100 ms, in 10 ms blocks with
a relative gate, and every part is weighted from rest so the last part does
not ring into it.
- The audio path is delayed by the tracker's lookahead, the window and a
5 ms glide, so each gain is in place on its part's first sample.
- Learn takes the next part's loudness as the target. Amount, Range, Measure
from (leave the sub out), Gate, Output, Bypass.
- Editor shows the last 32 parts in and out, the target, and the spread of
the last 16 parts.
- Registered in the catalog, workflows, editor-check, README, chain and
development docs, and the website copy.
