NAME

Audio::Wav::Write - Module for writing Microsoft WAV files.

SYNOPSIS

    use Audio::Wav;

    my $wav = new Audio::Wav;

    my $sample_rate = 44100;
    my $bits_sample = 16;

    my $details = {
	'bits_sample'	=> $bits_sample,
	'sample_rate'	=> $sample_rate,
	'channels'	=> 1,
	# if you'd like this module not to use a write cache, uncomment the next line
	#'no_cache'	=> 1,

    };

    my $write = $wav -> write( 'testout.wav', $details );

    &add_sine( 200, 1 );

    sub add_sine {
	my $hz = shift;
	my $length = shift;
	my $pi = ( 22 / 7 ) * 2;
	$length *= $sample_rate;
	my $max_no =  ( 2 ** $bits_sample ) / 2;
	for my $pos ( 0 .. $length ) {
	    $time = $pos / $sample_rate;
	    $time *= $hz;
	    my $val = sin $pi * $time;
	    my $samp = $val * $max_no;
	    $write -> write( $samp );
	}
    }

    $write -> finish();

DESCRIPTION

Currently only writes to a file.

NOTES

This module shouldn't be used directly, a blessed object can be returned from Audio::Wav.

METHODS

finish

Finishes off & closes the current wav file.

$write -> finish();

add_cue

Adds a cue point to the wav file. If $sample is undefined then the position will be the current position (end of all data written so far).

# $byte_offset for 01 compatibility mode
$write -> add_cue( $sample, "label", "note"  );

set_sampler_info

All parameters are optional.

    my %info = (
	'midi_pitch_fraction'	=> 0,
	'smpte_format'		=> 0,
	'smpte_offset'		=> 0,
	'product'		=> 0,
	'sample_period'		=> 0,
	'manufacturer'		=> 0,
	'sample_data'		=> 0,
	'midi_unity_note'	=> 65,
    );
    $write -> set_sampler_info( %info );

add_sampler_loop

All parameters are optional except start & end.

    my $length = $read -> length_samples();
    my( $third, $twothirds ) = map int( $length / $_ ), ( 3, 1.5 );
    my %loop = (
	'start'			=> $third,
	'end'			=> $twothirds,
	'fraction'		=> 0,
	'type'			=> 0,
    );
    $write -> add_sampler_loop( %loop );

add_display

set_info

Sets information to be contained in the wav file.

$write -> set_info( 'artist' => 'Nightmares on Wax', 'name' => 'Mission Venice' );

file_name

Returns the current filename.

my $file = $write -> file_name();

write

Adds a sample to the current file.

$write -> write( @sample_channels );

Each element in @sample_channels should be in the range of;

where $samp_max = ( 2 ** bits_per_sample ) / 2
-$samp_max to +$samp_max

write_raw

Adds some pre-packed data to the current file.

$write -> write_raw( $data, $data_length );

Where;

$data is the packed data
$data_length (optional) is the length in bytes of the data

write_raw_samples

Adds some pre-packed data to the current file, returns number of samples written.

$write -> write_raw_samples( $data, $data_length );
