Loading, Playing, Stopping and Controlling WavePlayer
wavtosim [-s] [-l] [-S] [-E]
specify s if the wave file already uses the *.SIM
file format. l specifies the addition of a loop to
the sample, and S and E specify the start and
end samples to be converted.
OTHER SIMULATION TOOLS
The WavePlayer must be loaded into the VRack through the
New/Simulation Tools submenu. (for loading instructions see
the System Tools section of this manual). Once loaded, the
WavePlayer panel will appear in the VRack, and its associated
patchset will appear in the Patch Bay tool.
• Click on the WavePlayer panel in the VRack.
The WavePlayer configuration window will appear (see Figure
50).
The WavePlayer supports the simultaneous playback of
multiple wave files or “voices”. Each DSP in the Huron system
can play back up to eight simultaneous voices, with the
WavePlayer being able to control a total of up to two million
samples of wave data.
• Select the number of voices required from the drop down
voices list.
The WavePlayer will reserve the necessary DSP space required
for playback and provide patchpoints for each voice in the Patch
Bay.
It is not possible to directly load wavetable samples into the
WavePlayer via its VRack interface. Files must be loaded and
subsequently triggered via SNAP or Locator commands. All
wave files must be in a 24bit binary *.SIM format, and must
have an even number of samples.
Standard wavefiles may be converted to the *.SIM format by
using the wavtosim program contained in the
c:\Huron32\bin directory.
The two most common methods for loading and triggering
wave files in the WavePlayer are using a Locator script, or by
issuing TCP/IP command packets via SNAP and the Socket
application. The commands to perform these functions are
described in the SNAP and Command Reference subsection at
the end of this section.
