AudioFile Class

Description

The AudioFile.open function creates an AudioFile object of the specified audio file. The AudioFile object can be used to retrieve information from the audio file, for example, the sample rate, bit depth, length in samples, etc. The AudioFile object has the following fields.

Info

All fields of the AudioFile object are read-only.

Available in: Controller, Processor.

Fields

.validIndicates if the file is a supported audio file and whether it could be opened or not.boolean
.fileNameThe file name that was used for opening the audio file.string
.rateThe sample rate of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file could not be opened or is invalid.number
.bitsThe bit depth of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file could not be opened or is invalid.number
.channelsThe number of channels of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file could not be opened or is invalid.number
.lengthThe number of samples in the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file could not be opened or is invalid.number
.rootKeyThe root key stored in the sampler chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate sampler chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.keyLowThe lowest key of the key range stored in the sampler chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate sampler chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.keyHighThe highest key of the key range stored in the sampler chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate sampler chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.velLowThe lowest velocity of the velocity range stored in the sampler chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate sampler chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.velHighThe highest velocity of the velocity range stored in the sampler chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate sampler chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.detuneThe tune offset in cents stored in the sampler chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate sampler chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.levelThe level offset in dB stored in the sampler chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate sampler chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.tempoThe tempo in bpm stored in a data chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate data chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.beatsThe number of beats stored in a data chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate data chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.signatureA pair of values for the numerator and denominator of the signature stored in a data chunk of the audio file. The values are nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate data chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number, number
.sampleStartThe position of the sample start in samples stored in a data chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate data chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.sampleEndThe position of the sample end in samples stored in a data chunk of the audio file. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate data chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.number
.loopsThe loop start and end positions in samples stored in a data chunk of the audio file. The returned table is an array that contains tables with the fields loopStart and loopEnd for each loop. Returns nil if the audio file does not contain an appropriate data chunk or could not be opened or is invalid.table

Example

Code Block
-- open an audio file from HALion Sonic 1.0
fname = "vstsound://502B301A6C914CEDA5C7500DC890C4DC/.Samples/g:/projects/yamahacontentserver/download/release/smtg/winds/Samples/DP060_FluteC3.wav"
af = AudioFile.open(fname)
loops = af.loops
-- print information from the audio file
if af.valid then
  print(fname, "opened.")
  print("Sample Rate: ", af.rate)
  print("Bit Depth: ", af.bits)
  print("Channels: ", af.channels)
  print("Sample Length: ", af.length)
  if loops then
    print("Loop Start: ", loops[1].loopStart)
    print("Loop End: ", loops[1].loopEnd)
  end
else
  print(fname, "does not exist.")
end
