Sound Loop player

The sound loop player is a config player that’s used to control sound loop sets (used by sound loop audio tracks). (This player is part of the MPF media controller and only available if you’re using MPF-MC for your media controller.)

Examples:

sound_loop_player:
  play_basic_beat:
    loops:
      action: play
      sound_loop_set: basic_beat
      timing: loop_end
  add_hi_hats:
    loops:
      action: play_layer
      layer: 1
      timing: loop_end
  stop_hi_hats:
    loops:
      action: stop_looping_layer
      layer: 1
  add_snare:
    loops:
      action: play_layer
      fade_in: 2s
      layer: 2
      timing: now
  add_claps:
    loops:
      action: play_layer
      layer: 3
      timing: loop_end

This example is tested to be valid MPF config. However, it is not integration tested.

sound_loop_player:
  play_basic_beat:
    loops:
      action: play
      sound_loop_set: basic_beat
      timing: loop_end
  add_hi_hats:
    loops:
      action: play_layer
      layer: 1
      timing: loop_end
  stop_hi_hats:
    loops:
      action: stop_looping_layer
      layer: 1
  add_snare:
    loops:
      action: play_layer
      fade_in: 2s
      layer: 2
      timing: now
  add_claps:
    loops:
      action: play_layer
      layer: 3
      timing: loop_end

Basic usage:

sound_loop_player:
  <triggering_event_name>:
    <sound_loop track name>:
      action: <action name>
      <optional settings>
  <triggering_event_name>:
    <sound_loop track name>:
      action: <action name>
      <optional settings>

Usage in config files

In config files, the sound player is used via the sound_loop_player: section. Event names that will trigger sound actions are nested sub-headings and sound_loop_set names are either listed as nested sub-headings below that.

Usage in shows

In shows, the sound player is used via the sounds_loop_sets: section of a step.

Optional settings

Additional information may be found in the sound_loop_player configuration reference documentation.
