Short: Adjust sample pitch to fit tempo in OctaMED Author: cheilandallen@yahoo.co.uk Uploader: kjetilma ifi uio no Type: mus/edit Version: 1.1 Requires: OctaMED with ARexx support Architecture: m68k-amigaos Autotempo is a plugin for OctaMED that adjusts the pitch (and therefore playback speed) of a sample so that it fits the tempo. This is useful for getting breakbeats in time with the rest of the music. Quick start: - load a breakbeat sample (not too long) - set the tempo to something BPM - run autotempo - enter note C-3 at lines 000 016 032 and 048 - play block See how the sample is exactly in time, without any hassle trying out different notes / tunings / tempos. Autotempo uses the following information: - length of the current sample - default pitch of the current sample (if no default pitch is specified then C-3 is used) - current tempo (must be in BPM mode) - length of the range selected in the tracker editor (if no range is selected then 16 is used as the length) and changes the instrument transpose and finetune settings so that the default pitch of the sample will play for the length of the range at the current tempo. If the selected range or the sample is too short or too long for the sample to be played in the range, then nothing is changed and a message is printed. Select a range that fits better with a sensible pitch for the sample. Limitations: - no support for SPD tempo mode (this mode is obsolete) - only octaves 1 to 3 are supported (that's all I need) - defaults are hard-wired (to what I usually need) - slight adjustment of finetune and/or tempo may be needed to get an exact fit (due to rounding errors) History: 1999.08.05 v1.1 first version Future: I'll only change it if anyone wants me to, it does what I want it to do and you can change it to do what you want it to do.
