Purpose

File Player loads a WAV file and emits it as stereo audio.

TouchDesigner Use

Set Filepath, turn on Play, and wire out toward Device Out or an effect chain. Connect a timeline ring to timeline when playback should follow transport.

Inputs And Outputs

• Input 0: timeline accepts timeline state. It is optional.
• Output 0: out emits stereo audio.

Main Controls

• Filepath: WAV file to load.
• Play: enables playback. With a timeline input, the timeline must also be playing.
• Loop: wraps playback at the end of the file.
• Restart: jumps to Cueposition.
• Cueposition: restart point in seconds.
• Gain: output level.
• Playbackrate: playback speed. Rate changes pitch with speed.

Notes

• Supports WAV files in 16-bit, 24-bit, and 32-bit forms.
• Mono files are mirrored to stereo. Files with more than two channels use the first two.
• If there is no sound, check Filepath, Play, Gain, the timeline input, and downstream routing.
