A single EQ set for the general range would, agreed, be dumb.
But a unique EQ set on each sound played would mean you can record a single note played by a clarinet and extrapolate every note that could be played by a clarinet. Meaning Graal Instruments could be played with more than the 10 preset notes. Like jammin' on the Ocarina.

What about the piano man? You could have a restaurant in a playerworld where you hire a guy to play. Bwahaha.

Haha, I could see Era wanting to make bands.

I think you are thinking of pitch shift.

That too!

I still really just want to be able to jump to a certain spot in a song before we have this advanced stuff :(
It's stupid how "radios" on servers start at the top of a song...then you get cut off when the radio host changes the track.

And about the sound index, it would most likely have to be something to do with sound channel or something....

Tyhm 03-29-2007 06:29 PM

That too!

I added that in a later post. For some reason I can't edit the original.

Yeah, man that's irritating...I can think of 11 threads off the top of my head wherein I'd really have liked to edit my first post as they developed...

Bumpity Bump Bump... Can anybody give some insight as to whether or not this is feasible?

Tyhm 04-04-2007 08:48 AM

Naw, you have to find some clever way of working around its absence that takes months of development and brilliant development that barely passes muster...THEN Stefan'll release the feature. ;-)

Man, can you imagine how infuriated the developers musta been when they came up with Ganis? "It'd be awesome if there was a way to package a bunch of images all layered together in some sort of Graal Animation object-file" "[no answer]" "...well, I guess we could just use showimg a bunch of times..."

haunter 04-10-2007 11:03 PM

So which quarter will this be slated for?

Rapidwolve 04-10-2007 11:16 PM

Would it be possible to output a sound from a script, like one of those computer programs that talk :) I would wanna make something like that

Tyhm 04-11-2007 10:06 AM

With this function, I don't see why not...you record the basic tones, then modify accordingly...I mean, even MacinTalk had an audio core file...

WanDaMan 04-11-2007 07:26 PM

Sounds fab'!

I have added ganis to make it easier for me to configure the position of the graphics instead of typing each position manually in a script file (source file). It was not because people were trying to emulate it with showimgs or whatever. It was just not possible to do similar things like that before (think of colored bodies via showimg?).

For new sound commands it would probably be possible to add something, although we should first try to figure out what would be the most useful. I don't know if many people have already seen it, but currently you cannot even play music/mp3s non-looped. If you have some feature request like that then its welcome.
Stuff like changing frequency and things are not that hard to do by using external tools, things like dynamic echo effect would probably be more interesting since you cannot easily emulate it (you would need to redo all sound effects).
Seeking in music files can probably be added, it will only work for local files though, since you cannot easily seek in internet streams.
