THE GREAT KAZOO 1.0 FREEWARE W W W . D i g i t a l L i q u i d . c o m
This program was designed to create randomly generated MUSIC/NOISE from directories containing sound files on your computer.
After selecting a directory the program will then scan for all of the following sound file types.
MP3 - MPEG3 compressed audio
AIF - Apple AIF Format
WAV - Standard Windows waveform
A sample directory containing six sounds, two MP3, two Wav files and two Aif files has been supplied.
Create your own directory containing just the right combination of sounds and see what kind of randomly generated music you can create!
Playing with ACID loops can be very interesting.
NUMBER OF SOUND CHANNELS OPEN
The program will then begin to play sounds from the chosen directory in up to four audio channels.
The number of channels open depends on the users preference.
As soon as a sound finishes a new sound is randomly chosen to play.
ALLOW ONLY CERTAIN FILE TYPES
The use of any of the 3 sound formats can be toggled on or off.
NOTE: If a sound file is already playing and it's format type has been toggled off, it will still continue to play until it has finished.
LOOP AND LOCK ANY SOUND CHANNEL
Use the loop and lock toggle to cause the current sound in that channel to loop continuously.
NOTE: After a sound is locked you can then select other directories to randomly draw files from and still keep all of your looped and locked sounds.
MUTE ANY CHANNEL
The mute toggle will simply mute or unmute the current channel.
Speed Issues
For faster performance try downsampling your wav files or try not to use any super large wav files, 25 MEG etc.
If the sample rates of the wave/aif files are the same across the board this will speed up playback as
the sounds will not have to be resampled realtime in order to mix.
Depending on the speed of your computer and the quality of your sound card and hardisk, speed issues may or may not be a problem.
You might want to edit your sound files to fadein and fade out for smoother random sound layering.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
