You need to have a time pointer that is reading through the analysis file. for example, I have a file, guitararch.aiff, which is about 5 and 1/2 seconds long. I made the .pvc file and placed it in my folder. in my instr I'd have ktimpnt line 4, p3, 5.32 (this should make a pointer through the file that lasts the duration of the note event. I start a little late and end a little early to prevent the pvoc from complaining that it has reached the end of the file, which seems to slow down the rendering speed a lot.) then input this into ap pvoc ktimpnt, kfmod, "guitararch.pvc", 0 with whatever kfmod (pitch alteration) you want. kfmod = 1, earlier in your orc would make it no pitch change. you can change around the type of ktimpnt how ever you want, make it exponential, or use segments to go back and forth over the same piece of the audio, it's really flexible, but you need to have it moving somewhere or there will be no sound. Pvoc seems to be less supported now though, and others on the list have been recommending using other opcodes like pvsyth http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/pvsynth.html On 2/1/06, MC wrote: > Hi folks, > I am trying to learn how to use pvoc and pvanal but am having a very hard time to get it working.. > somehow I seem to get the pvanal to write out an analysis file but when pvoc uses it I get > rendered an audio file with all zeros.. is there someone out there who can send me a quick example > score / orch file showing me the right way to use it..or if there is an online example can you > point me to it ? > > > thanks a lot > Regards > Shyam > > ======================== > Shyam Vai > http://www.shyamvai.com > ======================== > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
