more sample playback features?

[jph_wacheski]

Some aditional sample playback parameters may be useful;
Sample loop direction;
forward, back, ping-pong. -These are how the sample playback loopes after the first play.

and,. make current playback sample code settable, i.e; Sound1.SamplePosition=320000;
would be great for granular, glitched, wavetable etc. effects.

further,. perhaps the realtime synthesis process can be opened up to the editor like bitmap creation?

units;
OSC, Filter, LFO, Env,..

with routing ones like;
MODulaition, LFO, Env,.

only use the units needed in each sound, larger and small designs are availible as needed.
for back compatibility the current routing can be the defult patch.

Just some thoughts.

Yes please, with support for negative values .. allowing you to cue a sound for playback in the future.

Agreed. Perhaps it would be easiest to have a separate child node for modulators, as they don't directly affect a sound itself ( they drive properties that affect the sound ) .. plus that way you can share modulators across properties.

And not entirely related, but I'd like to be able to change properties while a sound is playing* Ambient / engine sounds that loop for a undetermined amount of time and could change pitch / panning during that time are pretty much impossible to do at the moment.

*Tried doing this by updating a Sample while it's being played, but that doesn't work.

ah,. yes that is something I would like to see too! a way trigger a sound once and have it just keep running,. currently I do some short sounds and trigger them frequently, like a 0.3 second sound, triggered every 0.1. with an inverted V type envelop. You can then manipulate the filter, note, volume, pan, etc. But yeah if we can just turn the envelop off on a sound,. this would likely be useful.

I added a .zgeproj of this technique here ; viewtopic.php?p=5243#5243
