This section will describe how to synchronize graphics with sound effectively using FMOD functions.<br>
|
|
It usually involves either polling against a music value to trigger your effect, or getting a callback from FMOD.<br>

The best way to synchronize a stream, such as a wav or mp3 is by using <a href="../HTML/FSOUND_Stream_SetSyncCallback.html">FSOUND_Stream_SetSyncCallback</a>.<br>
|
|
All you have to do is drop 'markers' into a wav editing program like SoundForge, and FMOD will automatically generate callbacks as the stream plays when the play cursor runs over the markers!.<br>
|
|
The strings that you label markers with are even passed into the callback.<br>
|
|
Note that only WAV files and MP3 with RIFF wrappers will work here. The markers are saved in a RIFF chunk.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
If you don't have this luxury or want to use a format that doesn't support this feature, then the next best way to synchronize a stream is by using custom sync points. This way you can add and remove your own points that wav markers would normally generate.
|
|
See <a href="../HTML/FSOUND_Stream_AddSyncPoint.html">FSOUND_Stream_AddSyncPoint</a>.<br>
|
|
Add your markers manually with this and set your sync point callback with <a href="../HTML/FSOUND_Stream_SetSyncCallback.html">FSOUND_Stream_SetSyncCallback</a><br>
|
|
Your callback could then look something like this but you can put what you like in the callback function.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>
|
|
signed char endcallback(FSOUND_STREAM *stream, void *buff, int len, int param)<br>
|
|
{<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
// end of stream callback doesn't have a 'buff' value, if it doesn't it could be a sync point.<br>
|
|
if (buff)<br>
|
|
{
|
|
<ul>
|
|
printf("\nSYNCPOINT : \"%s\"\n", buff);<br>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
}<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
return TRUE;<br>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
}<br>
|
|
</b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Remember FMOD is a real-time system and the amount of time spent in a callback has to be low, or you could cause buffer underrun or stuttering.<br>

To synchronize graphics with mod music, try these functions.
|
|
<LI><a href="../HTML/FMUSIC_SetZxxCallback.html">FMUSIC_SetZxxCallback</a>
|
|
<LI><a href="../HTML/FMUSIC_SetRowCallback.html">FMUSIC_SetRowCallback</a>
|
|
<LI><a href="../HTML/FMUSIC_SetOrderCallback.html">FMUSIC_SetOrderCallback</a><br>
|
|
<LI><a href="../HTML/FMUSIC_SetInstCallback.html">FMUSIC_SetInstCallback</a><br>
|
|
This allows you to set callbacks on row, order, instrument or Zxx mod effect events.<br>
|
|
There is also a time based function <a href="../HTML/FMUSIC_GetTime.html">FMUSIC_GetTime</a>.
