To quote myself [err . . . this reminds me of something else]: "It is, frankly, an easy, albeit tedious, piece of work to churn out individual sound files from some program that produces notes (c.f. Sibelius) for each semitone on the musical scale; and then import them into a stack, and then code to play audioClips."
while it is possible to set the playRate of a player this cannot be done for an audioClip as such; now, one could set up a player and keep loading individual audioClips of notes into it by continually resetting the fileName property . . . BUT . . . t h i n g s w o u l d g e t b o g g e d d o w n rather like playing a 45 gramophone record at 33 [and, methinks this would be mucho memory hungry - especially on low-end PCs; and, come to think of it, because it depends on parts of end-users' operating systems that are optional (QT, xanim (???)), it would be all a bit silly] (and I am quite sure that the current participants in this discussion can remember 'platters', 'waxes' and so forth :) The thing about my BBC Micro and a Hypercard stack was that things happened on time; which, for music, is not a bad idea. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
