Looper duration attribute can't exceed the duration of the file ?

[dennis]

Hi,

I was playing around with the Looper method, I loaded a few tekno kicks inside, but I can't set the duration of the loop longer than the file length. For instance, I have a kick with 0.38s duration, I'd like to loop it on 0.5s,  but the dur attribute automatically set the max duration  to the duration of the file. Is there a way to correct that or maybe I have to add some blank to my file...?

Thanks, Dennis.

Maybe use a Pattern object to trigger the playback of the sound instead of a Looper object?

Just my 2¢...

Hi,

You certainly can do that! This snippet starts the playback every 2 seconds:

t = SndTable(SNDS_PATH+"/transparent.aif")

l = Looper(t, dur=2).out()

l.appendFadeTime(True)

Thank you, this works but only without the ctrl panel. When I call the ctrl panel it trigs it a first shot with the indicated time, but right after the loop time goes back to the file length (also the max vale of the dur parameter in the ctrl panel is equal to the file length).

The maximum of the dur slider in the ctrl panel defaults to the table's duration just because that sounds to be a logical value, but you can override it easily when calling the ctrl() method. Updated example:

t = SndTable(SNDS_PATH+"/transparent.aif")
l = Looper(t, dur=2).out()
l.appendFadeTime(True)

l.ctrl(
    [
        SLMap(0.5, 2.0, "lin", "pitch", 1.0),
        SLMap(0.01, 10.0, "log", "dur", t.getDur())
    ]
)

Thanks Olivier, I see I should have checked the tableprocess.py file to get this information.
