[C/C++] Using FreeBasic-version of MiniFmod library

[Jim]

Hellfire shows how to work out which note at which octave is playing.  You already know how to work out which sample is playing.
What else do you need?  Alternatively, what do you mean you're having a problem incorporating it?

So you want to compare a numeric xm-note with an textual representation as shown in a tracker ?

Try something like this:

Code: [Select]

int stringToXmNote(char *note)
{
   char map[7]={
      9, // A- A#
     11, // B-
      0, // C- C#
      2, // D- D#
      4, // E-
      5, // F- F#
      7  // G- G#
   };

   // map first character from [C,D,E,F,G,A,B] to [0,2,4,5,7,9,11]
   int n= map[note[0]-'A'];
   // half note: second character is '#'
   if (note[1]=='#') n++;
   // extract octave
   int o= note[2] - '0';
   // convert to note-number
   return (o*12)+n+1;
}

Use like this:

Code: [Select]

int xmnote= MiniFmod_GetSynch(channel) & 0xff;
if (xmnote == stringToXmNote("D#4"))
{
  ...
}

Thanks alot dude.

I've got back to this, it looks brilliant the snippet above Dude, but it's not working with the stringToXMNote.

Code: [Select]

int xmnote= MiniFmod_GetSynch(5) & 0xff;
if (xmnote == stringToXmNote("D-6"))
{
 draw_box();
}

Huge thanks,
Clyde.

Yes, Dude, that's quite possible!
That's either because my code is crap or you're using it wrong, Dude.
Can you be more specific, Dude, or even post an example?

[Clyde]

Dude, it's just using your code above, and the bit I posted above dude.
 
you could try it out with the riseup module, if you wanted Hellfire dude.

Cheers Dude!

[hellfire]

you could try it out with the riseup module

That's a 4-channel module, but you're reading the note from channel 5:

Code: [Select]

int xmnote= MiniFmod_GetSynch(5) & 0xff;

Try

Code: [Select]

int xmnote= MiniFmod_GetSynch(3) & 0xff;
if (xmnote == stringToXmNote("A-4")) ...

Ok thanks mate, I need to remember it's -1 for the channel / track.
