SPANTH

Sample Player (Art-Net) for THeatre

Play audio samples using channel levels.

In simple mode, each channel controls volume of one sample.

• if channel value falls to 0, playback is stopped, and will restart from the beginning,
• for values 1-2, playback is paused,
• if value is 4 or less, volume (gain) is 0,
• if values is 255, volume is 1.0,
• between 5 and 254, volume is calculated according to vol = (val - 4) / 250

In advanced mode, each sample is assigned 4 channels: volume, start, end, mode.

start and end controls playback range. mode, for now, switches sample looping on (at 255) and off (at 0).
