(8.D.2.7) WaveLoopPlayerFlash

Overview

Periodic WAV playback supporting pitch shifting

Discussion

This module outputs wave data in float format in loop mode. It extracts wave data from AWE Flash File System container on the target Flash device, 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. Along with the above parameters, the playback functionality can be enabled from the control input pin, 1 - Enable and 0 - Disable.

The module supports multichannel such that, if the wave file has more channels than provided to the module argument then only channels up to output pin will be used. If the wave file has less channels than output pin channels, then the remaining output channels will be muted.

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.

On windows (Native PC) or Linux platforms, file operations are used and make sure the file path exists in the Audio Weaver file search path. If not, please update the file serch path from File->Set File Search Path... in the Designer. Maximum absolute file path should not be more than 512 charecters.
