Effects.PlaybackTempoSet method |
|
Remarks
Changes the sound to play at faster or slower speed than original, without affecting the sound pitch so voices won't result altered. The current tempo percentage can be obtained through the Effects.PlaybackTempGet method. The current effective playback rate ratio, that may be also affected by the Effects.PlaybackRateSet method, can be obtained through the Effects.PlaybackRateRatioGet method.
This method doesn't work with sounds with more than 2 channels (5.1 or 7.1) or if the EnableMixingFeatures property has been set to false.
When dealing with video clips, calls to this method will have no effect if the video clip has not been loaded with the VideoPlayer.LoadForTempoChange, VideoPlayer.LoadFromMemoryForTempoChange, VideoPlayer.LoadFromMemorySyncForTempoChange or VideoPlayer.LoadSyncForTempoChange methods.
After a successful call to this method, the duration of the song will change: the new duration, expressed in seconds, is notified through the CallbackForPlayersEvents delegate with the nEvent parameter set to EV_DURATION_CHANGED. The new duration can also be obtained through the SoundDurationGet and SoundDurationStringGet methods by setting the bKeepCountOfRateChange parameter to "true".
