Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration

enum **FFTSize**: :ref:`🔗<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>`

.. _class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_constant_FFT_SIZE_256:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>` **FFT_SIZE_256** = ``0``

Use a buffer of 256 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. Lowest latency, but least stable over time.

.. _class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_constant_FFT_SIZE_512:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>` **FFT_SIZE_512** = ``1``

Use a buffer of 512 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. Low latency, but less stable over time.

.. _class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_constant_FFT_SIZE_1024:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>` **FFT_SIZE_1024** = ``2``

Use a buffer of 1024 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. This is a compromise between latency and stability over time.

.. _class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_constant_FFT_SIZE_2048:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>` **FFT_SIZE_2048** = ``3``

Use a buffer of 2048 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. High latency, but stable over time.

.. _class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_constant_FFT_SIZE_4096:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>` **FFT_SIZE_4096** = ``4``

Use a buffer of 4096 samples for the Fast Fourier transform. Highest latency, but most stable over time.

.. _class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_constant_FFT_SIZE_MAX:

.. rst-class:: classref-enumeration-constant

:ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>` **FFT_SIZE_MAX** = ``5``

Represents the size of the :ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>` enum.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_property_buffer_length:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **buffer_length** = ``2.0`` :ref:`🔗<class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_property_buffer_length>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_buffer_length**\ (\ value\: :ref:`float<class_float>`\ )
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_buffer_length**\ (\ )

The length of the buffer to keep (in seconds). Higher values keep data around for longer, but require more memory.

.. _class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_property_fft_size:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>` **fft_size** = ``2`` :ref:`🔗<class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_property_fft_size>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_fft_size**\ (\ value\: :ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>`\ )
- :ref:`FFTSize<enum_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_FFTSize>` **get_fft_size**\ (\ )

The size of the `Fast Fourier transform <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Fourier_transform>`__ buffer. Higher values smooth out the spectrum analysis over time, but have greater latency. The effects of this higher latency are especially noticeable with sudden amplitude changes.

.. _class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_property_tap_back_pos:

.. rst-class:: classref-property

:ref:`float<class_float>` **tap_back_pos** = ``0.01`` :ref:`🔗<class_AudioEffectSpectrumAnalyzer_property_tap_back_pos>`

.. rst-class:: classref-property-setget

- |void| **set_tap_back_pos**\ (\ value\: :ref:`float<class_float>`\ )
- :ref:`float<class_float>` **get_tap_back_pos**\ (\ )
