Overview

Synchronous Granular Synthesis Module Wave FFS

Discussion

This module implements (synchronous) granular synthesis functionality. The module extracts wave samples from AWE Flash File System container on control input pin fsInstance, based on WAVFILE argument. User has to specify the file name as an argument and can also change file name directly into fileName array as 32-bit packed data during run time.

At instantiation time the output block size and sample rate has to be specified.

The input pin fRatio is a floating-point number and specifies the step size between samples as they are played back. Internally, fRatio is smoothed on a block by block basis using the .smoothingTime variable.

If "playDir" parameter has been selected to "backward" or, if fRatio has a negative value [range 0..-1] and "playDir" parameter has been selected to "auto", the WAV file is played back in backward direction,

The module has input pin named filePos that specifies the starting position of the grains at audio rate. Values in the input pin ranges between 0 and 1, and the actual offset in the file is determined be multiplying it with the file length. The starting offset of each grain is determined internally and the value at that offset is read from filePos.

The module has input pin named panMod that specifies the panning coefficients of the grains at audio rate. Values in the input pin ranges between 0 and 1, the specified value is considered as panning coefficient for left channel. 1-coeff is considered as the panning for right channel.

Optional argument MUTMOD can be used to mute output before changing file in run time.

Optional argument UNMUTEMOD can be used to un-mute output after file is processed in run time.

If any errors occurs in the module, it is captured in the parameter .errorCodes. Please check in Errors.h for the meaning of error code returned.
