Somebody might find this interesting or maybe useful enjoy italo SAMPLER GROUP: DELAY Audio Recorder rec The module is capable of recording and playing mono or stereo samples with varying pitch and time scale. Up to 16 sound samples may be stored in memory so that various drum hits or vocal takes can be easily accessed. You can loop a sample, step through multiple samples on successive triggers, and trigger the sample from audio. Presets using this module may only run on DSP A on Orville. Audio recording: To begin recording, trigger the record input. Recording will begin immediately and will continue until stop is triggered or all memory is used up. Another way to begin record is to trigger the triggered record. Recording will start when audio exceeds record threshold. There is a pre-trigger capture, causing a small section of audio preceding the trigger event to be recorded. For each new recording, the audio is stored into a new sample location. This can be done until all the available memory is used up. Audio Playback: A trigger to play causes the current sample to be played until the stop or pause inputs are triggered or the stop time is reached. You can have an audio signal trigger the playback by triggering triggered play. The particular sample to be played back is controlled by the play select control. After recording, this control will be automatically set to the new sample. If a new play trigger is received while the current sample is playing, the new sample will begin playing immediately. The old sample will continue playing for the length of time set in the overlap control. By changing the nextplaymode setting, the playback can step through consecutive samples. The samples to be stepped through are controlled by the playmin and playmax controls. If looping is set to enabled, the sample will automatically repeat, and the end of the sample will be crossfaded to the beginning. Editing: Change start and stop to single out what part of the sample you want. If start is after stop the sample will be played in reverse. When adjusting, you have a choice of either a tape recorder scrub emulation, or pitchscrub mode where the sound at the point will be played looped. Fadein and fadeout allow you to adjust how the sound is turned off and on. Use pitchamt to adjust the pitch of the sample and timeamt to adjust how fast the sample is played back. Saving Samples: To save the recorded data, simply set save audio to yes and then save the current program as a preset from the PROGRAM menus.. This means that your preset can be quite large and may exceed the available PROGRAM memory space. To exclude the sound data from being saved, press clear before saving the preset, deleting the audio, or set save audio to no (default). To recall a saved sample, load the sampler preset with which the sample was saved. The sound data will remain in memory even after you go to other presets unless a preset uses the memory. If you load a sampler preset that was saved without sound data, that preset will use the sound data (if any) that is found in memory. Special parameters: A number of control signals can be altered by the sampler itself. This can cause confusion if you connect a KNOB to the control signal input. You can turn the knob, but the value the sampler uses is something else. These control signals have associated userobjects which can be attached to your menupages. There are also associated control signal outputs to let you know what the real value is. The inputs should only be used for special effects where you must change the value from the outside. Certain parameters are stored with each sample. When you change a sample, these parameters will change. In addition, when you load an empty sampler preset, these parameters are updated from the sample in memory. The information stored with a sample is: start time, stop time, fade in time, fade out time, overlap, loop xfade time, record mode, sample rate, pitch amount, pitch mod amount, time amount, time mod amount, and delay range. signal min max description Specifiers: maxtime 1 720 seconds. Specifies the maximum delay desired for this module. This may not be what you get, depending on how big a sampler card is present. The output totaltime can tell you how much time you actually got. Audio inputs: recinl left record input recinr right recorder inputs Audio outputs: recoutl left channel monitor of what is being recorded. This output is enabled only during recording recoutr right channel monitor of what is being recorded. This output is enabled only during recording playoutl The left channel output of sample being played. These outputs are only enabled during playback. playoutr The right channel output of sample being played. These outputs are only enabled during playback. playmonl A mix of the recording monitor and the playback, left channel. playmonr A mix of the recording monitor and the playback, right channel Mod inputs: rectrigger The presence of audio on this input can cause the sampler to begin to record. You must arm this function by triggering trigrec. Triggering stop will cancel. playtrigger The presence of audio on this input can cause the sampler to begin play. To arm this operation, you must trigger trigplay. Triggering stop will bring you back to normal. pitchmod Input for dynamically changing the playback pitch. The control signal pitchmodamt controls how much pitchmod affects the pitch. timemod Input for dynamically changing the playback time. The control signal timemodamt controls how much timemod affects the pitch. Mod outputs: playouttime Sweeps from 0 to 1 as the sample is played. This is guaranteed to be zero for at least 1 mod sample before playback even when playing samples next to each other. You can use this as a mark of the beginning of a playback. samp Which sample is being played at this moment. The value is determined by taking the sample number, subtracting one, and dividing by 100. For example, sample number 3 is .03. Sample number 1 is the first. This output can be used to redirect the output of the sampler so different sounds can be modified by different effects. A value of 0 means that no samples are stored in memory. signal min max description Control inputs: play 0 1 A zero to one transition causes the sample to be played out. This is a trigger type control signal input. trigplay 0 1 A control signal trigger causes the playtrigger input to be active. stop 0 1 A control signal trigger causes the sampler to stop whatever it is doing. This includes recording and playing. pause 0 1 A control signal trigger causes the sampler to pause wherever it is during the playback. A trigger one play causes the sample to be played from where it’s left off. record 0 1 A control signal trigger causes the sampler to begin recording. trigrec 0 1 A control signal trigger causes the rectrigger input to be active. clear 0 1 A control signal trigger causes the sampler to remove the currently selected sample. clearall 0 1 A control signal trigger causes the sampler to clear the entire memory. This will remove all samples recordmode 0 1 Selects whether the next sample recorded will be in stereo or mono. 0 for mono, 1 for stereo. loopmode 0 1 Selects whether the sample loop around when done playing. The sample will start playing after being triggered and will loop until stop is pressed. 0 for disabled, 1 for enabled. editmode 0 2 Selects how the sampler helps the user when the start and stop points are being adjusted. 0 - none. No help. 1 - pitchscrub. Plays the sound at the point. 2 - tapescrub. Mimics tape across heads as you jog the reels. recthresh -100 0 dB. The threshold at which the signal level at trigrec should be for the sampler to start recording. pretrigtime 0 5 How much should be recorded before the command to record is triggered. playthresh -100 0 dB. The threshold at which the signal level at trigplay should be for the sampler to start playing. playhyst 0 20 After the signal at trigplay has started playing back, the sampler needs to know when to trigger again. The signal at trigplay has to reach playhyst lower than playthresh before the sampler is armed for another play trigger. playselect 0 num of samples. Selects which stored sample will be played. This control input will change an internal value which can also be changed by the sampler. A control output of the internal value is available. For simplicity, use the select userobject. nextplay After a sample is played, does the sampler stay at the same sample (simple) or go to another sample (rotate)? Each sample has a number. Rotate will go to the next highest number unless the next number is larger than playmax. In that case, the next sample will be at playmin. playmin 0 249 The sample at the bottom of the list of rotated samples. playmax 0 249 The sample at the top of the list of rotated samples. This number can be larger than the number of samples in which case the real playmax is the top of the list. starttime 0 maxtime seconds. Where in the sample we start playing. This is in seconds and zero is at pretrigtime before recording started. The internal value can be changed. It is set to zero each time a new sample is recorded. This value is saved with the sample so if you change the current sample, this value will revert to the saved value. A userobject and a current value output are available. stoptime 0 maxtime seconds. Where in the sample we stop playing. This is in seconds and the internal value can be changed. If you adjust above the actual sample length, the value is brought back. It is set to the end of the sample each time a new sample is recorded. This value is saved with the sample so if you change the current sample, this value will revert to the saved value. A userobject and a current value output are available. pitchamt -4800 2400 cents. The amount the sample is pitch shifted. This is in cents and the internal value can be changed. This value is saved with the sample so if you change the current sample, this value will revert to the saved value. If the sample was recorded at a sample rate that is different from the current sample rate, the range will be limited. A userobject and a current value output are available. pitchmodamt -4800 2400 cents. The amount the sample is pitch shifted when pitchmod is at 1 is added to pitchamt. This value is saved with the sample so if you change the current sample, this value will revert to the saved value. A userobject and a current value output are available. timeamt 0 4 The amount the sample is time stretched. A 1 will play the sample at normal rate. A 2 will be twice as fast. A .5 will be twice as slow. Zero will stop the playing. The autoknob for this actually shows a percentage. This value is saved with the sample so if you change the current sample, this value will revert to the saved value. If the sample was recorded at a sample rate that is different from the current sample rate, the range will be limited. A userobject and a current value output are available. pitchmodamt -1 1 The amount the sample is time stretched when timemod is at 1 added to timeamt. The autoknob will show a percentage of time stretching. This value is saved with the sample so if you change the current sample, this value will revert to the saved value. A userobject and a current value output are available. fadeintime 0 1000 milliseconds. When the sample is started, the output is turned on slowly. This parameter governs how long it takes to fade in the sample. This value is saved with the sample so if you change the current sample, this value will revert to the saved value. A userobject and a current value output is available. fadeouttime 0 1000 Just before the sample stops, the output is turned off slowly. This parameter governs how long it takes to fade out the sample. This value is saved with the sample so if you change the current sample, this value will revert to the saved value. A userobject and a current value output is available. loopxfade 0 1000 milliseconds. In loop mode, the end of the sample is faded out while the beginning of the sample is faded in. This parameter governs how long it takes to perform the crossfade. This value is saved with the sample a userobject and a current value output is available. overlaptime 0 1000 When a sample is to be played while another is still playing, There is a point where both samples are playing at the same time. This parameter governs how much the sample will overlap. This value is saved with the sample and a userobject and a current value output is available. delayrange 10 71 milliseconds. This is usually an expert parameter where it helps to know what type of material you want to shift or stretch. A long delayrange is good for low notes, chords, and program material but can be choppy. Decreasing delayrange will smooth the playback if you have a single note source but can get glitchy if it’s too small. This value is saved with the sample and a userobject and a current value output is available. saveMode 0 1 Determines whether recorded audio is saved when a preset is saved. Set to 1 to save, 0 to not save (default). Control outputs Currentmode What mode the sampler is current in. This is an integer number representing: 0 - stop: The sampler is stopping the sample. 1 - pause: Paused in the middle of playing a sample. 2 - fill: The sampler is busy. 3 - ready: Ready and waiting to do something 4 - play: Playing a sample. 5 - decay: The end of the sample is being ramped down. 6 - trigready: Waiting for an audio trigger. 7 - trigplay: Playing a sample that was triggered. 8 - trigdecay: Ending a sample that was triggered. 9 - record: Recording a sample. 10 - recordinit: Getting ready to record. 11 - trigrecord: Recording a sample that was triggered. 12 - trigrecordinit: Getting ready to record triggered. 13 - trigfill: The sampler is busy. 14 - pscrubinit: Getting ready to pitch scrub. 15 - tscrubinit: Getting ready to tape scrub. 16 - pitchscrub: Finding endpoint in pitchscrub mode. 17 - tapescrub: Finding endpoint in tapescrub mode. 18 - recorddone: Finished recording, tying up loose ends. 19 - file I/O 1: Internal sampler mode. 20 - file I/O 2: Internal sampler mode. 21 - file I/O 3: Internal sampler mode. 22 - file I/O 4: Internal sampler mode. 23 - initialize1: Internal sampler mode. 24 - initialize2: Internal sampler mode. 25 - initialize3: Internal sampler mode. 26 - initialize4: Internal sampler mode. 27 - null: The sampler is doing nothing at all. Currenttime The current position in the sample in seconds. The sample beginning is at 0.0 and is the first recorded moment. This is at the pretrigtime. Currentsample The current sample being played. If no samples are in memory, this is zero. Recordrate What the sample rate was when the current sample was recorded. This is in kilohertz. playmode How was the sample recorded: 0 mono, 1 stereo numbersamples Current number of samples in memory. processstatus This is an indicator of where the analyzer is at in the sample. Before a sample can be played back, the sample needs to be analyzed. This happens while recording and is usually done when recording is finished. However, there may be some modules that may slow down the analysis process. This output is provided to inform the user this is happening. This value is in seconds. endtime How large the current sample is in seconds. totaltime The total time available to the sampler. This will depend on the size of the big memory card.
