If the control port is assigned a GUI +widget by the host, the widget should be of auto-off (momentary, one-shot) type +- for example, a push button if the port is also declared as lv2:toggled, or a +series of push button or auto-clear input box with a "Send" button if the port +is also lv2:integer. +""" . + +pprops:supportsStrictBounds + a lv2:Feature ; + rdfs:label "Supports strict bounds" ; + rdfs:comment """ +Indicates use of host support for pprops:hasStrictBounds port property. A +plugin that specifies it as optional feature can omit value clamping for +hasStrictBounds ports, if the feature is supported by the host.

For input ports, it moves the responsibility for limiting the range of +values to host, if it supports pprops:supportsStrictBounds. For output ports, +it indicates that values within specified range are to be expected, and +breaking that should be considered by the host as error in plugin +implementation. +""" . + +pprops:expensive + a lv2:PortProperty ; + rdfs:label "Changes trigger expensive calculation" ; + rdfs:comment """ +Input ports only. Indicates that any changes to the port value may trigger +expensive background calculation (e.g. regenerate some lookup tables in a +background thread). Any value changes may have not have immediate effect, or +may cause silence or diminished-quality version of the output until background +processing is finished. Ports having this property are typically not well +suited for connection to outputs of other plugins, and should not be offered as +connection targets or for automation by default. +""" . + +pprops:causesArtifacts + a lv2:PortProperty ; + rdfs:label "May cause audio artifacts when changed" ; + rdfs:comment """ +Input ports only. Indicates that any changes to the port value may produce +slight artifacts to produced audio signals (zipper noise and other results of +signal discontinuities).

Control input +ports of this type are well-suited for being connected to sources of smooth +signals (knobs with smoothing, modulation rate oscillators, output ports with +continuousCV type, etc.). Typically, the plugin with ports which have this +property will implement appropriate smoothing to avoid audio artifacts. For +output ports, this property suggests the value of the port is likely to change +frequently, and describes a smooth signal (e.g. successive values may be +considered points along a curve). +""" . + +pprops:discreteCV + a lv2:PortProperty ; + rdfs:label "Carries a discrete modulation signal" ; + rdfs:comment """ +Indicates that the port carries a "discrete" modulation signal. Input ports of +this type are well-suited for being connected to sources of discrete signals +(switches, buttons, classifiers, event detectors, etc.). May be combined with +pprops:trigger property. For output ports, this property suggests the value of +the port describe discrete values that should be interpreted as steps (and not +points along a curve). +""" . + +pprops:reportsBpm + a lv2:PortProperty ; + rdfs:label "Carries the current tempo expressed in BPM" ; + rdfs:comment """ +Indicates that the port is used to pass the current tempo in context of the +plugin (which may be current song tempo, or tempo of a particular subset of the +song, or the subgraph the plugin resides in).
