In all the above examples, the chosen path is constrained to the limits of its initial and final values.
So, if the initial value is 10 and the final value is 40, that means that a path will oscillate between the values of 10 and 40.
The range of the path can be specified, if you wish:
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 range(100,10) 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 range(50,5) periods(4) # element 3: duration in samples
-500 # amplitude
In this example, the path of element 1 (duration) is given a range greater than its initial and final values.
The specified range cannot be less than the initial and final values. If it is, then TrikTraks will silently change the range to match the initial and final values.
