# Python Wrapper for Voicemeeter API
This package offers a Python interface for the Voicemeeter Remote C API.
For an outline of past/future changes refer to: [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md)
## Tested against
- Basic 1.0.8.4
- Banana 2.0.6.4
- Potato 3.0.2.4
## Requirements
- [Voicemeeter](https://voicemeeter.com/)
- Python 3.10 or greater
## Installation
`pip install voicemeeter-api`
## `Use`
Simplest use case, use a context manager to request a Remote class of a kind.
Login and logout are handled for you in this scenario.
#### `__main__.py`
```python
import voicemeeterlib
class ManyThings:
def __init__(self, vm):
self.vm = vm
def things(self):
self.vm.strip[0].label = "podmic"
self.vm.strip[0].mute = True
print(
f"strip 0 ({self.vm.strip[0].label}) mute has been set to {self.vm.strip[0].mute}"
)
def other_things(self):
self.vm.bus[3].gain = -6.3
self.vm.bus[4].eq.on = True
info = (
f"bus 3 gain has been set to {self.vm.bus[3].gain}",
f"bus 4 eq has been set to {self.vm.bus[4].eq.on}",
)
print("\n".join(info))
def main():
KIND_ID = "banana"
with voicemeeterlib.api(KIND_ID) as vm:
do = ManyThings(vm)
do.things()
do.other_things()
# set many parameters at once
vm.apply(
{
"strip-2": {"A1": True, "B1": True, "gain": -6.0},
"bus-2": {"mute": True, "eq": {"on": True}},
"button-0": {"state": True},
"vban-in-0": {"on": True},
"vban-out-1": {"name": "streamname"},
}
)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
Otherwise you must remember to call `vm.login()`, `vm.logout()` at the start/end of your code.
## `KIND_ID`
Pass the kind of Voicemeeter as an argument. KIND_ID may be:
- `basic`
- `banana`
- `potato`

### Multiple parameters
- `apply`
Set many strip/bus/macrobutton/vban parameters at once, for example:
```python
vm.apply(
{
"strip-2": {"A1": True, "B1": True, "gain": -6.0},
"bus-2": {"mute": True, "eq": {"on": True}},
"button-0": {"state": True},
"vban-in-0": {"on": True},
"vban-out-1": {"name": "streamname"},
}
)
```
Or for each class you may do:
```python
vm.strip[0].apply(mute: True, gain: 3.2, A1: True)
vm.vban.outstream[0].apply(on: True, name: 'streamname', bit: 24)
```
## Config Files
`vm.apply_config(<configname>)`
You may load config files in TOML format.
Three example configs have been included with the package. Remember to save
current settings before loading a user config. To set one you may do:
```python
import voicemeeterlib
with voicemeeterlib.api('banana') as vm:
vm.apply_config('example')
```
will load a user config file at configs/banana/example.toml for Voicemeeter Banana.
## Events
By default, NO events are listened for. Use events kwargs to enable specific event types.
example:
```python
import voicemeeterlib
# Set event updates to occur every 50ms
# Listen for level updates only
with voicemeeterlib.api('banana', ratelimit=0.05, ldirty=True}) as vm:
...
```
#### `vm.observer`
Use the Subject class to register an app as event observer.
The following methods are available:
- `add`: registers an app as an event observer
- `remove`: deregisters an app as an event observer
example:
```python
# register an app to receive updates
class App():
def __init__(self, vm):
vm.observer.add(self)
...
```
#### `vm.event`
Use the event class to toggle updates as necessary.
The following properties are available:
- `pdirty`: boolean
- `mdirty`: boolean
- `midi`: boolean
- `ldirty`: boolean
example:
```python
vm.event.ldirty = True
vm.event.pdirty = False
```
Or add, remove a list of events.
The following methods are available:
- `add()`
- `remove()`
- `get()`
example:
```python
vm.event.remove(["pdirty", "mdirty", "midi"])
# get a list of currently subscribed
print(vm.event.get())
```
## Remote class
`voicemeeterlib.api(KIND_ID: str)`
You may pass the following optional keyword arguments:
- `sync`: boolean=False, force the getters to wait for dirty parameters to clear. For most cases leave this as False.
- `ratelimit`: float=0.033, how often to check for updates in ms.
- `pdirty`: boolean=False, parameter updates
- `mdirty`: boolean=False, macrobutton updates
- `midi`: boolean=False, midi updates
- `ldirty`: boolean=False, level updates
Access to lower level Getters and Setters are provided with these functions:
- `vm.get(param, is_string=False)`: For getting the value of any parameter. Set string to True if getting a property value expected to return a string.
- `vm.set(param, value)`: For setting the value of any parameter.
example:
```python
vm.get('Strip[2].Mute')
vm.set('Strip[4].Label', 'stripname')
vm.set('Strip[0].Gain', -3.6)
```
Access to lower level polling functions are provided with the following property objects:
#### `vm.pdirty`
True iff a parameter has been updated.
#### `vm.mdirty`
True iff a macrobutton has been updated.
#### `vm.ldirty`
True iff a level has been updated.
### Run tests
To run all tests:
```
pytest -v
