What it does

Controllable Playback Random Stuttering Example

Illustrates the versatility of WaveWarp's controllable file playback feature (see "ControllablePlaybackSimpleExample.dwb" for a detailed description of the controllable playback functionality). In the present example, the "Controllable Input Audio File" ( "wavewarp.wav") is fed a Control Signal which alternates randomly between -1 and +1, as determined by the Telegraph Noise Control Generator.

Play the DrawingBoard. The effect of the -1 / +1 sequence is to periodically skip the file playback pointer backwards in time. With the default settings, the net result is an irregular stuttering of the voice track. In this example the Control Running Sum Display monitors the actual file playback pointer location by summing the entire history of successive step-sizes. This can be a useful aid when trying to decipher just exactly how the achieved effect is obtained !

Experiment with different settings in the Telegraph Noise Control Generator and with different audio sources.

See the other "ControllablePlayback...Example" DrawingBoards to appreciate the elaborate effects achievable using WaveWarp's powerful controllable playback feature.

Note: ALL audio files will appear in both the "Controllable Input Audio Files" category and the "Input Audio Files" category so it is possible to play ANY file with or without playback control.
