Sound input

Converts the sound input level to a property value.

The Sound input oscillator uses the default sound interface, but you can change it in Preferences. Open the menu Liberation -> Preferences.

Under the Sound Input settings, you can select which sound interface you would like to use, along with some other settings for adjusting the volume level.

  • range min / range max - the minimum and maximum values the waveform is mapped onto

  • channel - If your sound interface has more than one input channel, you can select here which one you're picking up.

It's a fun technique to get multiple sound feeds from the mixing desk, that way you can have different clips responding to different musical instruments.

You can only use one sound interface at a time across all Sound Inputs (selected in the App Settings panel). If you want to use more than one interface for this, on MacOS you can to combine inputs into a single virtual sound source. (There are many apps on Windows that will do this too, but I haven't tried them).

  • clamp min / clamp max - use this to choose which range of levels you want to respond to. You shouldn't need to adjust this if the gate and limit settings (in the App Settings panel) are properly adjusted, but they can be used for some creative effects.

You'll see a little microphone icon on the clip button whenever it has a Sound Input oscillator.
