REVMIX

Play an input soundfile backwards.

in RTcmix/insts/std


quick syntax:

REVMIX(outsk, insk, dur, AMP[, inputchan, PAN])

CAPITALIZED parameters are pfield-enabled for table or dynamic control (see the maketable or makeconnection scorefile commands). Parameters after the [bracket] are optional and default to 0 unless otherwise noted.

Param Field Parameter Units Dynamic Optional Notes
p0 output start time seconds no no  
p1 input start time seconds no no  
p2 input duration seconds no no  
p3 amplitude multiplier relative multiplier of input signal yes no  
p4 input channel - no yes default: 0
p5 pan 0-1 stereo; 0.5 is middle yes yes default: 0

Parameters labled as Dynamic can receive dynamic updates from a table or real-time control source.

REVMIX plays a selected channel of the input file backward for the specified duration, starting at the input start time.

Usage Notes

If you specify a duration that would result in an attempt to read before the start of the input file, REVMIX will shorten the note to prevent this.

Note that you can’t use this instrument with a real-time input (microphone or aux bus), only with input from a sound file. (That’s because the input start time of an inst taking real-time input must be zero, but this instrument reads backward from its inskip.) Duh…

The output of REVMIX may be mono or stereo

Sample Scores

very basic:

   rtsetparams(44100, 2)
   load("REVMIX")

   rtinput("mysound.aif")

   // do both channels of a stereo input file
   REVMIX(outskip=0, inskip=5, dur=3, amp=1, inchan=0, loc=0.0)
   REVMIX(outskip=0, inskip=5, dur=3, amp=1, inchan=1, loc=1.0)
