Morex Word In 1.0
Description
This is a stereo Wave In hard disk sample reader. It reads 32-bit floating point
Wav files at a variety of sample rates up to 96 kHz.
Uses
1) As an audio input from some other software.
2) As an audio input from buzz. You may, for example, need to output from Buzz to Cubase or
Cool Edit to do some post processing, then take your mix back into Buzz for final
mastering (with the Jupiter2, for example). With this machine, you can do this without
any loss of audio quality.
3) As a 32-bit audio sequencer/mixer. You can have multiple instances of WordIn playing
multiple files simultaneously, and you can mix them however you like with Buzz.
4) To save processor power!!! For instance, if you are writing a piece with multiple
machines, and your audio is stuttering, you may be saturating your processor (you can check
with the CPU Monitor in the Buzz View menu). To remove the clicks, select some machines that
don't change frequently (such as your drum generators), and record your track with only these
machines playing. Then, mute these machines and play them back through WordIn to release
the processor power, et voilla, you have more CPU cycles to play with for the rest of your
sounds.
Installation
Unzip to \buzz\gear, restart Buzz if it's running.
Usage
1) Make sure the effect is connected to the Master.
2) Select the wave file to input by right clicking on the machine and selecting the menu option.
3) Set the Play parameter to On or Off to start and stop playing.
4) The Ticks parameter sets the number of ticks into the sample at which it will start playing.
5) The Offset parameter is a number of samples which is added to the Ticks parameter when the
sample starts playing, allowing fine control of sample positioning.
6) This zip file contains an audio track template (in the +Mixers folder), containing correct values
for the Tick parameter for approx. 320 bars of song. If you use this template, you can move the Start
and End sequence terminators without worrying about where your sample will play from (Highly Recommended!).
Notes
If you're recording from buzz for playback through WordIn, then for best results, use CyanPhase's Overloader
Extended Hard Disk Recorder. Select the CyanPhase Wav Recorder plug-in, and from the Config button, select
32-bit IEEE Float (type 3). Please note that on my system, the hard disk recorder adds 4571 blank samples to
anything you record, so you may need to compensate for this with the Offset parameter (set it to 11DB).
Distribution
This code is free; please include this readme and the template in any distribution.
