Applying transformations to amplitudes

All of the transformation paths above were applied only to the elements' durations. They can also be applied to the elements' amplitudes.

Here's an example similar to the last few, where both the durations are changing for elements 1 and 3, and the amplitudes are changing for elements 0 and 2:

     output(sound.wav)    # name of the output soundfile
     duration(5)          # duration of the transformation
     initial(1)           # play the initial state for these many seconds
     final(1)             # play the final state for these many seconds
     
     20 40                # element 0: duration in samples
     1000 -1000 sin periods(2)  # amplitude
     
     30 60 sin periods(300) # element 1: duration in samples
     -10000               # amplitude
     
     40 80                # element 2: duration in samples
     10000 -10000 sin periods(3)  # amplitude
     
     10 20 sin periods(4) # element 3: duration in samples
     -500                 # amplitude

Here's the plot of the transformations:

Make these changes to your datafile and hear what it sounds like.
