SoundComposer.ItemSlidingWaveToneAdd method

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Remarks

 

Adds a sliding wave tone item to the audio stream previously created through the SoundComposer.SessionInit method.

 

For further details about sound composing see the the SoundComposer object and the How to compose a sound tutorial.

Parameter

Description

 

 

strFriendlyName

Friendly name of the item

nChannel

Channel of the audio stream that will reproduce the item: can be a value between 0 and the number of channels of the audio stream created through the SoundComposer.SessionInit method.

nWaveType

Type of wave tone.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic Value

Value

Meaning

SOUNDGEN_SLIDING_WAVE_TYPE_SINE

0

Sine wave

SOUNDGEN_SLIDING_WAVE_TYPE_SQUARE

1

Square wave

SOUNDGEN_SLIDING_WAVE_TYPE_SAWTOOTH

2

Sawtooth wave

SOUNDGEN_SLIDING_WAVE_TYPE_SQUARE_NO_ALIAS

3

Square wave without aliasing

fFrequencyStart

Initial wave tone frequency expressed in Hertz, e.g. 700

fFrequencyEnd

Final wave tone frequency expressed in Hertz, e.g. 1000

fAmplitudeStart

Initial wave tone amplitude.

- value 0.0 means that sound volume is muted

- values higher than 0.0 and lower than 1.0 attenuates the sound volume

- value 1.0 sets the sound at full volume

- values higher than 1.0 amplifies the sound volume

fAmplitudeEnd

Final wave tone amplitude.

- value 0.0 means that sound volume is muted

- values higher than 0.0 and lower than 1.0 attenuate the sound volume

- value 1.0 sets the sound at full volume

- values higher than 1.0 amplify the sound volume

bLogInterpolation

Boolean value indicating if the sliding should use linear or logarithmic interpolation.

Supported values are the following:

Mnemonic Value

Meaning

BOOL_FALSE

Uses linear interpolation

BOOL_TRUE

Uses logarithmic interpolation

nDurationMs

Duration of the wave tone expressed in milliseconds

nFadeInMs

Duration of the fade-in at the beginning of the tone expressed in milliseconds. Set this value to 0 if you don't need to apply a fade-in at the beginning of the audio stream.

nFadeOutMs

Duration of the fade-out at the end of the tone expressed in milliseconds. Set this value to 0 if you don't need to apply a fade-out at the end of the audio stream.

nOffsetMs

Offset of the sliding wave tone, expressed in milliseconds, respect to the beginning of the audio stream.

nUniqueId

Reference to a value that, on return from the method call, will contain the unique identifier of the newly added element: this unique identifier will be used in order to invoke further methods related to the use of this specific element:

 

- SoundComposer.ItemSlidingWaveToneLimitsGet to obtain the initial and final frequency/amplitude of the sliding wave tone

- SoundComposer.ItemSlidingWaveToneLimitsSet to modify the initial and final frequency/amplitude of the sliding wave tone

- SoundComposer.ItemSlidingWaveToneTypeGet to obtain the current type of sliding wave tone

- SoundComposer.ItemSlidingWaveToneTypeSet to modify the current type of sliding wave tone

 

- SoundComposer.ItemChannelGet to obtain the channel of of the audio stream that will reproduce the item

- SoundComposer.ItemChannelSet to modify the channel of of the audio stream that will reproduce the item

- SoundComposer.ItemRemove to remove the item from the sound composition

- SoundComposer.ItemDurationGet to obtain the duration, expressed in milliseconds, of the item

- SoundComposer.ItemDurationSet to modify the duration, expressed in milliseconds, of the item

- SoundComposer.ItemOffsetGet to obtain the offset, expressed in milliseconds, of the item respect to the beginning of the audio stream

- SoundComposer.ItemOffsetSet to modify the offset, expressed in milliseconds, of the item respect to the beginning of the audio stream

- SoundComposer.ItemTypeGet to obtain the item's type

- SoundComposer.ItemFriendlyNameGet to obtain the friendly name of the item

- SoundComposer.ItemFriendlyNameSet to modify the friendly name of the item

 

The usage of the SoundComposer.ItemAmplitudeGet and SoundComposer.ItemAmplitudeSet methods is not supported on sliding wave tones; use the SoundComposer.ItemSlidingWaveToneLimitsGet and SoundComposer.ItemSlidingWaveToneLimitsSet methods to obtain and modify the initial and final frequency/amplitude of the sliding wave tone.
