Hi, I’m sure it’s a very trivial function but I cannot get round to it. I have an audio file and I want the playback to be driven time wise by a parameter instead of the normal timeline clock. Technically it’s a time stretch/compress function in real time. Of course the function needs to be able to play the sound both forward and backward. Any pointers? Thanks!
Currently, this isn’t a feature in FMOD Studio. You might be able to code yourself a “scrubbing” function using the FMOD Core API but this would be a large project.
Perhaps a quicker and simpler project would be to have a parameter that contains a “reverse” track. When needed, the reverse parameter plays a faux reverse sound and then you can use EventInstance::setTimelinePosition() to put the event instance back to whatever position is needed.
Richard,
Thank you so much, this helps a lot!
I’m a relatively new user and initially thought I was possibly missing something obvious.
I will be looking into the possibility of developing the function as you suggested, unless you tell me that you guys are working on it and it may be something FMOD may feature in the near future.
Thank you again for your support!
Best,
Cristiano
This isn’t a feature on our roadmap but I can make a feature suggestion in our tracking system.
