Sound loudness?
« on: March 23, 2011, 08:49:49 am »
Is there a way I can make a sound quieter?
I need it for... http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_do_different_musical_instruments_sound_differently_even_when_playing_the_same_pitch_at_the_same_intensity

I have decided to spend a few days messing with sound so Sarah, my calc, can speak to me <3

Is it louder in full speed mode, It is a higher pitch.  If so, maybe I  can make adjustments to have things match up.

Edit:  How many people have spring break this week?

Hmm, I'm not sure. I've made sound routines, but I've never figured this out. It is definitely something I would be interested in, too. It probably depends on how much power is being pumped through the serial port... not sure, sorry!

If you're talking about the Axe Freq() command, as far as I know there is no way to change the volume. The volume of a sound is proportional to the amplitude, but since Freq() only produces a 1-bit wave, I don't think there is a way to increase or decrease the amplitude.

My friends won't believe that my calc speaks to me, so I need to give her a voice <3

Right, well, that's going to be extremely difficult in Axe, if not impossible.

Actually, you can access the link port directly as far as I know (wasn't it the Port token?)

You could probably get some simple WAV playback if you time it correctly (by simple, I mean probably around 4 bits per sample)

You can access it directly, but would it be fast enough?  We are talking about speech. :D

Well, Axe can't access the ports except through the 1 bit routines or through inline ASM. If you're going to try something like 4 bit WAV, you'd probably need ASM to get the proper speed. Of course, Quigibo's probably about to come through here with a post on how Axe 1.0 will have built in Text2Voice commands and 3d color graphing :P

I thought sound on calc wasn't even loud enough and that people would rather want to increase the volume, not decrease it? O.O

Lmao, I hope you are joking.  It is way to loud.  I will edit with a video in a few min.

Do you use headphones? Because the last time I tried sound on my 83+ I barely heard anything with them. ??? Note that I used CALCmod and TI-Jukebox, though. I never tried with Axe.
