TRANSBEND -- time-varying pitch transposition
in RTcmix/insts/std

quick syntax:
TRANSBEND(outsk, insk, dur, amp, pitchenvgenno[, inputchan, pan]) 

   p0 = output start time (seconds)
   p1 = input start time (seconds)
   p2 = output duration (or endtime if negative) (seconds)
   p3 = amplitude multiplier (relative multiplier of input signal)
   p4 = function table number for pitch transposition control envelope
   p5 = input channel [optional; default is 0]
   p6 = pan (0-1 stereo; 0.5 is middle) [optional; default is 0]

   Because this instrument has not been updated for pfield control,
   the older makegen control envelope sysystem should be used:

   assumes function table 1 is the amplitude envelope

TRANSBEND performs a time-varying transposition on an input signal using cubic spline interpolation. This is essentially the same thing as TRANS, except that you can change the transposition factor dynamically using the older makegen control envelope sysystem.



Usage Notes

Because of the new pfield-enabled control envelope system, TRANSBEND has now been largely superceded by the TRANS and TRANS3 instruments. The paramters of TRANSBEND are the same as with these instruments. See the TRANS Usage Notes for more information.



Sample Scores

very basic: 
   rtsetparams(44100, 2)
   load("TRANSBEND")
   
   rtinput("mysound.snd")
   
   dur = DUR(0)
   amp = 1
   pan = 0.5
   
   /* amplitude curve */
   setline(0,0, 1, 1, 90, 1, 100, 0)
   
   /* transpose from 4 semitones up to 8 down - stored in gen slot 2 */
   makegen(-2, 18, 512, 1,.04, 512,-.08)
   
   TRANSBEND(0, 0, dur, amp, 2, 0, pan)
