Calculate the sample rate for a note or period value
Source:R/01supporting_functions.r
sampleRate.Rd
Calculate the sample rate for a note or a ProTracker period value.
Arguments
- note
A
character
string representing a note for which the sample rate is to be calculated.- finetune
An
integer
value ranging from -8 up to 7. A value used to tune an audio sample.- video
The video mode used to calculate the sample rate. A
character
string that can have either the value 'PAL' or 'NTSC'. PAL is used by default.- period
A ProTracker
integer
value of a period value for which the sample rate is to be calculated.
Details
The timing on a Commodore Amiga depends on the video mode, which could be either 'PAL' or 'NTSC'. Therefore sample rates also depend on these modes. As the PAL is mostly used in Europe, and the Amiga was most popular in Europe, PAL is used by default.

Examples
## calculate the sample rate for a ProTracker period value of 200
periodToSampleRate(200)
#> [1] 17734.47
## calculate the sample rate for a sample at note 'A-3'
noteToSampleRate("A-3")
#> [1] 27928.31
## note that the NTSC video system gives a slightly different rate:
noteToSampleRate("A-3", video = "NTSC")
#> [1] 28185.39
## fine tuning a sample will also give a slightly different rate:
noteToSampleRate("A-3", finetune = -1)
#> [1] 27710.12
