Effects.PlaybackRateSet method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Changes both the sound tempo and pitch, as if an LP disc was played at wrong RPM rate. The use of this method will speed up the sound playback and voices will result altered; if you don't want to alter voices, use the Effects.PlaybackTempoSet method. The current rate percentage can be obtained through the Effects.PlaybackRateGet method. The current effective playback rate ratio, that may be also affected by the Effects.PlaybackTempoSet 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 BOOL_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 SoundDurationChanged event. The new duration can also be obtained through the SoundDurationGet and SoundDurationStringGet methods by setting the bKeepCountOfRateChange parameter to "BOOL_TRUE".
