# A Go Wrapper for Voicemeeter API

This package offers a Go 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/)
-   Go 1.18 or greater

## Installation

#### GO GET

Install voicemeeter-api-go package from your console to download the latest version.

`go get github.com/onyx-and-iris/voicemeeter`

or add it to your `go.mod` file.

## `Use`

#### `main.go`

```go
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/onyx-and-iris/voicemeeter"
)

func main() {
	vm, err := vmConnect()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer vm.Logout()

	vm.Strip[0].SetLabel("rode podmic")
	vm.Strip[0].SetMute(true)
	fmt.Printf("Strip 0 (%s) mute was set to %v\n", vm.Strip[0].GetLabel(), vm.Strip[0].GetMute())
}

func vmConnect() (*voicemeeter.Remote, error) {
	vm, err := voicemeeter.NewRemote("banana", 15)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	err = vm.Login()
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	return vm, nil
}
```

## `voicemeeter.NewRemote(<kindId>, <delay>)`

### `kindId`

Pass the kind of Voicemeeter as an argument. kindId may be:

-   `basic`
-   `banana`
-   `potato`

### `delay`

Pass a delay in milliseconds to force the getters to wait for dirty parameters to clear.

Useful if not running callbacks.

## `Remote Type`

#### `vm.Strip`

[]t_strip slice containing both physicalStrip and virtualStrip types

#### `vm.Bus`

[]t_bus slice containing both physicalBus and virtualBus types

#### `vm.Button`

[]button slice containing button types, one for each macrobutton

#### `vm.Command`

pointer to command type, represents action type functions

#### `vm.Vban`

pointer to vban type, containing both vbanInStream and vbanOutStream slices

#### `vm.Device`

pointer to device type, represents physical input/output hardware devices

#### `vm.Recorder`

pointer to recorder type, represents the recorder

#### `vm.Midi`

pointer to midi type, represents a connected midi device

#### `vm.Type()`

returns the type of Voicemeeter as a string

#### `vm.Version()`

returns the version of Voicemeeter as a string

#### `vm.GetFloat(<param>)`

gets a float parameter value

#### `vm.SetFloat(<param>, <value>)`

sets a float parameter value eg. vm.SetFloat("strip[0].mute", 1)

#### `vm.GetString(<param>)`

gets a string parameter value

#### `vm.SetString(<param>, <value>)`

sets a string parameter value eg. vm.SetString("strip[0].label", "podmic")

#### `vm.SendText(<script>)`

sets many parameters in script format eg. ("Strip[0].Mute=1;Bus[3].Gain=3.6")

#### `vm.Register(o observer)`

register an object as an observer

#### `vm.Deregister(o observer)`

deregister an object as an observer

#### `vm.EventAdd(<event>)`

adds an event to the pooler eg. vm.EventAdd("ldirty")

#### `vm.EventRemove(<event>)`

removes an event to the pooler eg. vm.EventRemove("pdirty")

#### `vm.Pdirty()`

returns True iff a GUI parameter has changed

#### `vm.Mdirty()`

returns True iff a macrobutton parameter has changed

#### `vm.Sync()`

Use this to force dirty parameters to clear after a delay in milliseconds.
