LÖVE

Hi, I'm fairly new to LÖVE developing and i'm trying to make a script that pitches a sample up and then exports it into a folder. I'm having trouble exporting the sound. I'm aware of the Source:setPitch script, but I'm not sure how to export the pitched file. If anyone could help, I would be immensely grateful. Thanks!

There's currently no function in LÖVE for saving audio files. You'll have to use a library or roll your own solution.

To be more on point, you can't get back audio (that you applied effects to) from a Source object.
You would need to implement your own pitch changing algorithm, modify all samplepoints in a SoundData object instead, and then write all of that out to disk, encoded in the format of your choice (again, you'd need to implement the encoder as well; wav is the simplest to do.)

Why do you want to export these though?

Trying to make a chromatic scale generator for music to be used in FL Studio or smth like that.

Looks good. Thanks a lot!

What are the advantages of luawav over the built-in SoundData that zorg mentioned?

Encoding the wav file...

Oh, you're right, I didn't notice that there's no audio encoder in SoundData.

IMO, there really should be, since you can generate sound and even record sound from a mic, and you can encode images.
