Functions
setAudioFileName(path)
Set the Audio Panel to play the sound inside an audio file. Houdini plays this sound during testing, animation or scrubbing. See also hou.audio.useAudioFile().
setChopPath(path)
Set the Audio Panel to play the sound inside a CHOP node. Houdini plays this sound during testing, animation or scrubbing. See also hou.audio.useChops().
path
A string containing the path to the CHOP node.
useAudioFile()
Set the Audio Panel to use a disk file for the audio.
useChops()
Set the Audio Panel to use a CHOP node for the audio.
setMono(on)
Set whether the audio will play in mono or stereo mode.
setLeftVolume(value)
Set the volume for the left audio channel.
setRightVolume(value)
Set the volume for the right channel.
setVolumeTied(on)
Set whether changing the volume of one channel affects the volume of the other channel. If so, both channels will have the same volume set.
setMeter(on)
Ses whether the meter will show the volume levels during the audio playback.
setAudioOffset(offset)
Set the time offset of the sound to sync the audio. This offset, specified in seconds, will coincide with the audio frame. See also hou.audio.setAudioFrame().
setAudioFrame(frame)
Set the frame to sync the audio. The audio offset (in seconds) will coincide with this frame. See also hou.audio.setAudioOffset().
useTestMode()
Put the Audio Panel into a mode that tests the audio playback.
When the Audio Panel is in the test mode, it will play the entire audio soundtrack. The test can be stopped and resumed with stop() and play() functions.
The sound will not play when scrubbing the thumb in the playbar or when playing the animation in the playbar. The audio must be in either scrub or realtime mode for playing the sound during animation or scrubbing.
useTimeLineMode()
Put the Audio Panel into a scrub mode.
When the Audio Panel is in the scrub (a.k.a. timeline) mode, Houdini will play the audio during the animation or when scrubbing the thumb in the playbar.
useTimeSliceMode()
Put the Audio Panel into realtime (a.k.a. timeslice) mode.
turnOffAudio()
Turn off the audio playback.
play()
When the Audio Panel is in the test mode, start playing the Audio Panel’s specified audio file or CHOP. See also hou.audio.setAudioFileName() and hou.audio.setChopPath().
stop()
When the Audio Panel is in the test mode, stop the test playback if any audio is currently playing.
reverse()
When the Audio Panel is in the test mode, start playing the sound in reverse.
setLooping(on)
When the Audio Panel is in the test mode, set whether the test should start playing from the beginning once the end is reached. See also hou.audio.setRewind().
setRewind(on)
When the Audio Panel is in the test mode, set whether the sound should rewind to the beginning when the test is stopped. If not, on subsequent start, the sound will resume from the point at which it was previously stopped. See also hou.audio.setLooping().
setScrubRate(value)
When the sustain period is non-zero, the small chunk of the sound will be repeated with this frequency when the scrubbing comes to a standstill at a single frame. See also hou.audio.useTimeSliceMode().
setScrubRepeat(on)
Set whether the sound chunk is repeated during scrubbing. See also hou.audio.useTimeSliceMode().
setScrubSustain(value)
Set the length of time the that the sound chunk is repeatedly played when scrubbing comes to a standstill on a particular single frame. In practice, when the value is zero, no sound will be played when scrubbing keeps hovering over one frame. But, when the value is non-zero, a small sound chunk will keep playing repeatedly with a specified frequency. See also hou.audio.useTimeSliceMode().
