neat _SndRaw example, but how do you stop _SndRaw from playing? - madscijr - 08-16-2022
I was searching through various QB64 examples I had saved,
looking for examples of _SndRaw, and found this interesting one by angros47
(are they still around?) from way back in 2013 (when QB64 was at qb64.net!)
The first sound starts off okay but almost immediately becomes noise,
and I'm not sure why or how to turn it off.
The second sound is really really cool sounding, like sci fi sounds done on the early Moog synths.
I let it play for a while and it eventually starts sounding like noise, and again, I don't know how to turn it off.
Any input would be appreciated!

https://qb64phoenix.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=757
If you checked out my code from that thread, you would know how to fix this already. :tu:
You need to check the value of "_SNDRAWLEN" so it doesn't exceed three seconds or some other short period of time to your liking. Do not generate any more sound until the threshold of the sound buffer falls below the expectation. Then when sound generation is finished, it would be a good idea to keep checking the value of "_SNDRAWLEN" until it hits zero and, in the meantime, fade out the sound.

Hey, thanks, mnrvovrfc! I did try out your granular synth code, but haven't yet fully digested how it works.
BTW, how should one pronounce "mnrvovrfc" out loud?
UPDATE: I tried checking the _SNDRAWLEN like you do in your Granular Synth example (code below).
After adding the DO loop at the end (lines 79-81, 120-122), the sounds now end right away, when the user presses ESC to stop playing.
However, checking that _SNDRAWLEN doesn't go over 3 seconds (lines 258-261) doesn't seem to be stopping sound #1 from degenerating into harsh noise.
Any ideas?
Thanks again!

Do you guys know anything about Greek/Roman mythology? Have you read "The Oddysey" English translation?
Kidding aside...
The sound has to be faded away after the user presses escape. If you decided to sound longer for three seconds before closing the program, then you have to figure out for three seconds how to make the sound silent. This means make the code just like the regular loop but, only for the length of time chosen (three seconds in this case), make a multiplication on the sample frame.
The following line could produce trouble:
_SndRaw Amplitude * Waveform
If that is computed to an absolute value greater than one, it's going to cause digital distortion. Check the code to make sure that value doesn't run out of control away from the range of -1.0 to 1.0.

Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion, replacing _SndRaw Amplitude * Waveform with
Code: (Select All)
Dim sngSoundRaw As Single
...
sngSoundRaw = Amplitude * Waveform
If sngSoundRaw < -1 Then
sngSoundRaw = -1
ElseIf sngSoundRaw > 1 Then
sngSoundRaw = 1
End If
_SndRaw sngSoundRaw(line 230, 284-290 in the below code) but it's still making that noise.
How is it possible I can mess this up?

Setting "sngSoundRaw" variable to -1 or 1 just hard-clips the sound. You have to check the "Waveform" and "Amplitude" variables how they're being changed and find a way to reduce the absolute value of that multiplication. Try dividing "Amplitude" by 2 to see what happens.
"Hard-clip" is just rounding off a sound so that if the input sound is very very loud, it is transformed to be like silence, but it's annoying because when the audio was played back and then stopped, it causes a loud pop into headphones or speakers. It's not better cleaning DC offset. That's why sound engineers look to prevent it.
I took another look at the code. The problem with one of the functions is that "Modulator" is always going at full blast while "Waveform" has to experience some reduction. "Amplitude" is already being set very small, to one-over-million, so the culprit might be the modulation depth. Both "Modulator" and "Waveform" have to experience some sort of reduction.
