Hi everyone.
I would like to create an algorithm (csd) for which from an audio file:
1. can send running only short fragments of the file;
2. the fragments of the audio file must have a variable duration each time (included between a minimum and a maximum value);
3. the fragments will have to be alternated with pauses also from the variable duration;
4. randomize the skiptime value, then at each call a different value (randomic).
Is there any experience on this yet? Is there any idea...?
Thanks for any help,
Enrico

Hi Enrico,
I can think of at least two possibilities. One using diskin or diskin2
and two iinstruments. Have one controlling instrument with your
"algorithm" and one playing iinstrument. The basic structure could be
something like this:
kTrigFreq init 1
kTrig = metro(kTriigFreq)
if (kTrig == 1) then
; computer your random values
; infer the new metronome frequency with something like 1/(kEnd -
; kStart)
; schedulek your instrument with skiptime and all other params
endif
To get the alternating silences, you could have an additional variable
switched over each time you are insiide the if statement to either
schedule your play instrument or do nothing.
Would that do? In one instrument you might do someting with table
reading through a scaled phasor added to a or a-rate offset and use a
kind of gate to llet audio go out or silence it.
Best wishes and HTH,
Jeanette

1. plays a random length segment of a soundfile followed by an equal length of silence 2. each segment is enveloped to avoid clicks & will play contiguously through the soundfile (each random segment starts where the previous one ended) 3. it will wrap when the sum of the segments exceeds the length of the soundfile Certainly not as comprehensive as Oeyvind's impressive instr but perhaps a little easier to modify depending on your intended use (and was a fun challenge for me!). <CsoundSynthesizer> <CsOptions> -o dac -m2 ; -o test_ex1.wav </CsOptions> ;================================ <CsInstruments> sr = 48000 ksmps = 32 nchnls = 2 0dbfs = 1 seed 0 giOff init 0 ; value to offset soundfile instr trig ; random durations will be divided in half in instr 1 ; if KDur = 1 second, sfile plays for .5 seconds ; then there is silence for .5 seconds kDur init 2 kTrig metro 1/kDur kMin = .125 ; min. duration in seconds kMax = 1 ; max. dur kDur = trandom(kTrig, kMin, kMax) ; create random dur each time metro triggers schedkwhen kTrig, 0, 2, 1, 0, kDur endin instr 1 print p3 iDur = p3 / 2 ; divide random durations in half print iDur print giOff iAmp = .8 aEnv = linseg:a(0, .003, iAmp, iDur - .007, iAmp, .003, 0) aSig diskin "fox.wav", 1, giOff, 1 outs aSig * aEnv, aSig * aEnv giOff += iDur print giOff endin </CsInstruments> ;================================ <CsScore> i"trig" 0 16 </CsScore> </CsoundSynthesizer> The above is attached as Ex_1.csd I left the print statements in to help illustrate how it works. Ex_2.csd is similar but uses some global variables to adjust for whether the sfile is mono or stereo. Instead of using an if statement that would be instantiated numerous times I thought it more efficient to just use seperate instr. I wasn't sure whether you wanted every random segment to be contiguous. Ex_3.csd differs from 2 in that every random segment starts from a different place in the sfile. It's quite possible you could recreate this as a single instr using triglinseg but as that opcode will not work on Android devices I was unable to test it.

| Here is a csd I’ve had a lot of fun with. It loads a sample into a function table and plays back fragments (that I’ve called grains) by triggering a second instrument. The playback loops. Meanwhile I’ve set up the first instrument to take input from my Novation Launch Control MIDI knobs via ctrl7. With them I can control the grain density, duration, frequency, stereo, but crucially the amount of randomness. If I turn up the randomness, the grains start appearing out of order from the original timing. Of course these controller inputs could just as easily be widgets or envelopes or whatever, but there’s a tactile joy in playing with the knobs. <CsoundSynthesizer> <CsOptions> </CsOptions> <CsInstruments> sr = 44100 kr = 2205 nchnls = 2 nchnls_i = 1 0dbfs = 1
