loopSample: Looped waveform of a sample

Description

Generate a looped waveform of a PTSample object.

Usage

# S4 method for PTSample
loopSample(sample, times, n_samples)

Value

Returns a waveform represented by a numeric

vector of values ranging from 0 up to 255. Has a length of n_samples when that argument is specified.

Arguments

sample

A PTSample object that needs to be looped.

times

A positive integer value indicating the number of times a sample loop should be repeated. This argument is ignored if n_samples is specified.

n_samples

A positive integer value indicating the desired length of the looped waveform in number of samples. This argument overrules the times argument.

Details

For playing routines, it can be useful to generate repeats of a sample loop. This method returns the waveform of a PTSample where the loop is repeated times`' times or has a length of n_samples`'.

Examples

data("mod.intro")

## Loop sample number 4 10 times:
wform <- loopSample(PTSample(mod.intro, 4), times = 10)
plot(wform, type = "l")

## Loop sample number 4, such that its
## final length is 5000 samples:
wform <- loopSample(PTSample(mod.intro, 4), n_samples = 5000)
plot(wform, type = "l")
