AudioBlock makes it easy to work with audio files by turning patterns into audio wave tracks. Long audio files are merged with composition and played from the correct position without the need to trigger any notes.

Main features:

• Play audio immediately from the correct position
• Supports all audio interface sample rates
• Supports all audio file sample rates
• Supports all Buzz Wavetable sample formats
• Resample audio files to sample rate used in Buzz to maximize audio quality (using r8brain-free-src)
• Audio file and play position visualization both horizontally and vertically
• Linear and curved volume and pan envelopes
• Audio looping
• Millisecond precise offsets
• Drag & Drop
• Update pattern length automatically
• Change Wave pitch, tempo or rate (using LibSoundTouch)
• Undo/Redo (1-step)
• Spectrogram
• Power-user options: Overwrite sample in Wavetable, Auto-resample
• Ogg, Flac, mp3 etc support.
• Tested on Buzz 32 & 64 bit

Short term plans: Fix bugs if found.
Longer term plans: Multi channel out, better Buzz integration, 64 bit Buzz testing (need some new managed machine APIs for some of these)

Unzip to main Buzz folder. Version 1.2.5.13

All your work is AWESOME. This will be a very useful machine.
Thank you Monsieur WDE

Can't wait for the Multi-Channel Out ability. That'll make this amazing machine even better!

See You In The Shadows…

Cool.
Today I have done a multichannel recording with EasyRec and then using AudioBlock.!
Picture is showing AudioBlock in Fullscreen.

I am asking myself why the wavetable labels are starting at different seconds?
The picture is showing the entire song, looks like the display is a little bit clipped at zero position? But maybe its just an illusion
Is it possible to show more tracks at once more easily?A button "fit waveform windows to all tracks"? Perhaps a double click onto the little grey bars in the middle or mouse wheel! ?

Thank you very much!

I like that feature!

Now you can. Add AudioBlock to your project and go to Buzz --> Settings.

That's neat. Didn't know that was possible.

Any chance you could put the code on GitHub or somewhere?

edit: Love the About box!

This is incredible - Fantastic job WDE

OK, that's really I just looked at that & wow. I'm not a dev (about the extent of my coding skills is with Basic ), but I could see this ability being a boon to many machines. IX, it would be awesome to have a Settings tab for Magic

Sorry, won't work with Magic. You'll have to wait for Magic 2 for that, sometime around 2070!

Perhaps at some point. However for now I updated the source file. I encourage those who are interested to copy, steal, get influenced, get scared, or do anything with it

Thanks.

2070, I'll be in my 90's then ( ), well… alright. I know how much of a code-beast Magic is (ok, no I don't really know, but I can certainly imagine). It was worth a wish, tho

Keep up the great work IX & WDE, you two have created most of the machines I've been using to control & bend Buzz to my will for the last couple of years (actually probably longer - since IX released the first version of PatchBay way back when ).

See You In The Shadows…

Hi WDE,
I noticed that now it adds a track to sequence view when you add a sample, but not by adding pattern in AB. Wouldn't it be more straight forward to add a track when adding a pattern, too? => If adding a pattern then adding a track . (no matter if it comes via the sample or manually by adding new pattern). If deleting a pattern, then deleting the track, too?

Could you please add the number of the pattern to the sequence/track view?

Just realized that AB don't accept dragged files from zip archive. Is that an issue of windows or AB?

1.0.10.0

• Resample bug fix
• Auto create sequence when AudioBlock track is created
• Auto remove sequence. Works only from AB UI. Removes sequence if target track is the only one in the sequence

Sequences can't be renamed.

Windows thing I suppose.
