How much of a range are you hoping to have? Are we having thread munging problems again?
This posting on the web site http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=82210#post82210 seems like a non-sequitur w.r.t. to the quote. In any case, to answer your question: The SB1 logic, which varied the clock speed (somehow, I don't know how it worked internally), worked for essentially any slower speed and broke down somewhere around 10% fast (seemed to vary between 10 and 13% depending on the song chosen, which I couldn't find a logical explanation for). For 90% of the uses I know for pitch control, that's usually enough. Mostly people want to slow the music down when they're learning (do dance more slowly to it, to take more time to hear the chords and transcribe the chord progressions, to listen to and write down the words). Occasionally a DJ will want to speed up a song part way through to make the energy higher, or to match the next song that's coming up (beat matching). In most of those cases, 10% is plenty (at least in my experience ... but then, I'm not the sort of DJ that does beat matching much). A different problem occurs though if you want to combine pitch bending and cross-fading ... and I think we need to come up with some more sophisticated control mechanisms if we're going to pitch bend in the server .... but we're starting to get esoteric here. Is this the right forum for it, or should this thread move to the developers forum? -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20484 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
