Using a wavetable as a sampler</A>

Example B04.sampler.pd (Figure <A HREF="#fig02.14">2.14</A>) shows how to use a wavetable as a
|
|
sampler. In this example the index into the sample (the wavetable) is controlled
|
|
by mousing on a number box at top. A convenient scaling for the number box is
|
|
hundredths of a second; to convert to samples (as the input of
|
|
<TT>tabread4~</TT> requires) we multiply by 44100 samples/sec times 0.01 sec to get 441 samples
|
|
per unit, before applying <TT>pack</TT> and <TT>line~</TT> in much the same way
|
|
as they were used in the previous example.
|
|
The transposition you hear depends on how quickly you mouse up and down.
|
|
This example has introduced one new object class:

<A NAME="2558"></A>simple high-pass (low-cut) filter. The creation argument gives the roll-off
|
|
frequency in cycles per second. We use it here to eliminate the constant
|
|
(zero-frequency)
|
|
output when the input sits in a single sample (whenever you aren't actively
|
|
changing the wavetable reading location with the mouse). Filters are discussed
|
|
in Chapter <A HREF="node127.html#chapter-filter">8</A>.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The <TT>pack</TT> and <TT>line~</TT> in this example are not included merely to
|
|
make the sound more continuous, but are essential to making the sound
|
|
intelligible at all. If the index into the wavetable lookup simply changed
|
|
every time the mouse moved a pixel (say, twenty to fifty times a second) the
|
|
overwhelming majority of samples would get the same index as the previous
|
|
sample (the other 44000+ samples, not counting the ones where the mouse
|
|
moved.) So the speed of precession would almost always be zero. Instead of
|
|
changing transpositions, you would hear 20 to 50 cycles-per-second grit. (Try
|
|
it to find out what that sounds like!)
