GP32 Array Of Sounds/samples ?

[ConsoleTom]

Hi !

I would like to create an array that contains sounds. Now i have a Snaredrum-Sample in an Array

unsigned short SnareDrum[20000] = {x SampleData for 1 Snaredrum x};

then i would play it like this:

GpPcmPlay((unsigned short*)SnareDrum,sizeof(SnareDrum),0);

but what i need is an array - for example 5 x 20000.

The Play Routine should work like this

GpPcmPlay((unsigned short*)SnareDrum[2],sizeof(SnareDrum[2]),0);

How do i declare it ?

Greetings

A fixed-size array for sounds is not a good idea, as your sounds won't all have the same length (a guess, but I think this is why the sizeof is there for).

Instead your should create a structure like this:

typedef struct {
unsigned short *sound;
int length;
} s_sound;

Then you would declare your array like this:

s_sound sound[5];

Then make these pointers point to your actual sounds, and set the good length for each sound.

sound[2].sound = SnareDrum;
sound[2].length = sizeof(SnareDrum);

To play your sound:

GpPcmPlay((unsigned short*)sound[2].sound,sound[2].length,0);

Note that you still need each sound array declaration (unsigned short SnareDrum[20000] = {x SampleData for 1 Snaredrum x}; ) but that way all your sounds can have different sizes.

Hi !

Thanks, that should help. I'll try it.

I thought about defining a struct. But the idea with the size-info is even better.
