In the pattern editor, tap on the last icon in the toolbox (the one that looks like a knob to edit note-level parameters). You see a list of parameters that can be modified for each note: <a href="http://www.chocopoolp.com/bhajis/imgs/popup_controller.gif" target="_blank">http://www.chocopoolp.com/bhajis/imgs/popup_controller.gif</a> Portamento time is the time it'll take for the note to reach its pitch, starting from the previous note's pitch. A value of 0 (default) and the note will directly start at the right pitch. Higher values will create slow slide/glide effects. I think this is what you want, and it is the "right" solution to achieve it, much easier than messing with pitch-bend.

Hi, I'm wondering how one can achieve a "note slide" effect : Say you take a sine wave instrument, drop a c3 and want this to "slide" up to c4 in, say, one 4beats bar. How would you do that ? I tried pitch bend envelope automation, but the bending range is way to short for one note..? Heck, maybe there are *several* ways to do that, I'd like to know them all ;) - I noticed this in the documentation : pattern data is stored as following: '0 note start (0 to 255, in steps) '1 note end (0 to 255, in steps) '2 note (standard MIDI note #) '3 instrument used (1 to 32) '4 velocity (0 to 127) '5 pan (0 to 127) '6 sample playback offset (0 = sample start / 127 = sample end) '7 note cutoff (0 to 127) '8 vibrato rate . '9 vibrato depth '10 note pre-delay (0 = at this step ; 127 = at the next step) '11 = 0 for normal notes ; = 255 to indicate that the note is a "pattern break" '12 portamento rate. '13 (reserved) '14 (reserved) '15 (reserved) end if What is that "portamento rate" parameter, and how do I access it ?

I'm confused... The file is called "22k" but the sample rate is clearly shown as being 16000 Hz. so?

I think that this may finally be compatible!!!!!</div> This is just GREAT ! Now does this garnet thingie run on the n900..? Just thinking out loud...

olivier wrote:<div id="quote" /> Your script seems to encode to 16k...</div> No it does not...! Have you tried it ? (Hi Olivier!) take a full stereo aif file, copy it somewhere safe, and run the script in the dir, w/o arguments, you'll endup w/ 3 files, now enter file *. Have I any reason to doubt "file"s perspicacity ? [xix@musicbox tmp]$ file * mysoundfile-22k.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 16000 Hz mysoundfile-44k.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44000 Hz mysoundfile.aif: IFF data, AIFF audio The 1st two files have been produced w/ the script (AND BL eats them happily), and the third is the original. Is there something wrong ? Grml

Hi, Either IMA ADPCM [FormatTag = 17]: - mono / 4 bits Or PCM [FormatTag = 1]: - mono or stereo - 8 or 16 bits Any sample rate Please upload somewhere the offending file and I'll have a look. My bet is that it's compressed. Olivier

Hi everyone I'm DLoading "samplepacks" (just a zipped list of samples) from <a href="http://www.freesound.org/packsView.php" target="_blank">freesound</a>, for use w/ and most of them are in aif format. I wrote a *simple* script to convert them to wav using <a href="http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.html" target="_blank">sox</a>. Here it is : [code] #! /bin/bash # This script converts all music files in the current dir to wav. # <a href="mailto:hallucinet@free.fr">hallucinet@free.fr</a> # V 0.1 No interaction, no fuss. for a in *.aif; do if [ -f "$a" ]; then b="${a%.aif}" sox "${b}.aif" "${b}.wav" echo Converted "${b}.aif" to "${b}.wav" sox -V "${b}.wav" -r 22000 "${b}-22.wav" rate i=$[i+1] fi done echo Converted "$i" aif files; [/code] But sometimes (not everytime, some aif samples end up perfectly comestible BL wavs - vegan wavs ;) ) I'm being, hum, not insulted, let's just say "put back to my place" (french saying) by BL, who errors (5555) and says that the resulting samples use "a compression that's not supported by BL" So my question is : What exatly are the file format specs for a sample to be properly loaded in BL ? I mean every kind of sample, mono or stereo, and the frequencies. What I'd like is the format(s), and the possible freqs. Ideally, I'd like my script to spit out TWO files : One that's full stereo @ 44kHz (or whatever the best quality is available in BL) and one that is mixed to mono, 22kHz (or whatever the lowest-but-still-acceptable quality possible. When I'll know, I'll post my findings here, edit this very post so it's an answer rather than a question ;) From Africa w/ love, pX
