Controllable Playback Chaotic Stuttering Example
Illustrates the versatility of WaveWarp's controllable file playback feature (see "ControllablePlaybackSimpleExample.dwb"
for a detailed description of the controllable playback functionality). In the present example, the "Controllable Input Audio
File" ( "wavewarp.wav") is fed a Control Signal which alternates chaotically between -1 and +1. (This alternating sequence
is created by normalising the ouput of the Chaotic Control Generator by dividing it by its own magnitude. The Large Control
Gain is used to ensure that the absolute value of the resulting signal exceeds unity by a small a mount so that the truncated
integer value is unity).
Play the DrawingBoard. The effect of the -1 / +1 sequence is to periodically skip the file playback pointer backwards in
time. With the default settings, the net result is an irregular stuttering of the voice track. In this example the Control Running
Sum Display monitors the actual file playback pointer location by summing the entire history of successive step-sizes. This
can be a useful aid when trying to decipher just exactly how the achieved effect is obtained !
Experiment with different settings in the Chaotic Control Generator and with different audio sources.
See the other "ControllablePlayback...Example" DrawingBoards to appreciate the elaborate effects achievable using
WaveWarp's powerful controllable playback feature.
Note: ALL audio files will appear in both the "Controllable Input Audio Files" category and the "Input Audio Files" category
so it is possible to play ANY file with or without playback control.
