BUG: The sample pitch multipliers are a bit iffy

[TheHedgehogSonic]

I tried using multiple sample patches at multiple pitches, as to circumvent the hardware pitch limitations. To my surprise, the results were seemingly erratic on how they didn't work. I tested on the Neo Geo, where they were all set to the same frequency (18.5KHz like all Neo Geo samples), the same pitch setting of x1, and the same volume of 100%, but for some odd reason, their pitches were all randomly different from the designated pitch in Audacity. In some cases, a few samples pitched upward like I told them to (since the samples I loaded on the Neo Geo were super low), but in other samples, nothing changed. I cross referenced in Deflemask to see if I was missing anything, and didn't find anything wrong with the sample multipliers there. I switched back to the Genesis, and found their pitch multipliers worked just fine with every semitoned sample I tried. It seems it's only a problem with the Neo Geo samples. There's some food for thought in what to fix, come the next version.

Hmmmm... your samples are actually at 44.1KHz:

Playing: Atari Saw C#.wav
 (+) Audio --aid=1 (pcm_s16le 1ch 44100Hz)
AO: [pulse] 44100Hz stereo 2ch float
A: 00:00:00.214 / 00:00:00.433 (49%)

What I meant is that the samples you are using have been somehow resampled back to 44.1KHz, probably because you didn't set the Project Rate:

[TheHedgehogSonic]

Oh. That is indeed a problem. And a follow up question: Would the sample frequency multipliers normally work for the Neo Geo like in Defle, or are they ineffective there?

[tildearrow]

If you mean the "Pitch" slider then yes, it will work.

[TheHedgehogSonic]

OK. I'll double check that on the latest version.

[TheHedgehogSonic]

OK. I've double checked everything. I resampled what I wanted to resample, made doubly sure it was at the right rate, downloaded the latest version, and now everything works properly. :)
