OKAY! So now I've dug up the wav format, dug through blitz docs to find how to save anything and found banks, wrote a little rountine that copies an array with the wav format into the bank, copy the whole sample after it into the same bank and simply save the bank with incremental filenames (albeit overwriting former files...didn't get to learn about checking files, yet...or...eh...didn't get to care about that just yet. Eventually I think this should rather be a gimmik in the first place...i mean, saving wavs!)
ANYWAY, now you can generate funky sounds and save them as wav. (Somehow I still have a tiny trouble with some minor format issues, but it works as far as I can tell).
SO HERE IT IS:
(just a little flavor of what's to come, of course...)
Synth01 (or the "mini taronizer") - Alpha 0.1
INSTRUCTIONS
hotkeys:
SPACE - plays sound
S - saves sound (incrementally, but always starting from 0 overwriting old sounds)
DELETE - removes marker (make sure you have one selected, lol...I'm still cleaning up!)
ESCAPE - quits
interface:
left click on wave display allows you to drag it around in the display.
right click on wave display is x and y zoom, while x will stay around your mouse pointer.
mouse wheel on wave display switches on a button free zoom (ROFL), but rolling the wheel should zoom proportionally.
RED BAR is for volume markers
YELLOW BAR is for frequency markers
CYAN BAR is for filter markers
left click onto any bar will create a marker under your mouse or select the one that's already under it.
right click on the bar will allow you to drag the value of the currently selected marker on that respective bar.
middle click will move the currently selected marker to your mouse X position on that bar.
The Textfield in the upper right corner not only displays the value of the currently selected value, but allows you to enter a new value for it as well.
The upper left corner of the window shows the toolbars reset buttons for the display, hopefully speaking for themselves. In fact I hope all of them can speak for themselves... at this point it's so primitive, you shouldn't encounter too many questions?!
One thing about the filters, though. I have a rather primitive lowpass filter in there, which I've elevated in power by adding BIPOLAR as option. The filter than passes forwards and backwards over the sample, really filtering it down. But BEWARE of the resonance, which I currently havn't weighted, yet. You will have to adjust the volume of your sample to prevent it from clipping too much, unless you like that sort of thing, hehehe! 8)
Have fun! It's truely merely the beginning...
Be gentle at this point and don't just try to break it, because you will succeed. Instead explore...
It's already a lot of fun, but not only still full of quirks (sound is fixed to (60000samples/16bit mono/44.1khz), marker management is still a little sloppy, filters are unbalanced), it's nothing compared to what it will become now!
