Wave Loop Player RAM Fract32

Overview

Periodic WAV playback supporting pitch shifting

Discussion

This module outputs wave data in fract32 format in loop mode. User has to specify the file name as an argument. Along with the above parameters, the playback functionality can be enabled from the control input pin, 1 - Enable and 0 - Disable.

The module supports multichannel such that, if the wave file has more channels than provided to the module argument then only channels up to output pin channels will be used. If the wave file has less channels than output pin channels, then the remaining output channels will be muted.
