New sound pitch blocks

DevanWolf

Yes, that's right! I would like to add pitch for the play sound, play note, and play drum blocks!

set pitch to(1)::sound

change pitch by(1)::sound
(pitch::sound)

It sets how fast or slow sounds on the sprite or stage will play. Like for example, if the pitch is a 0.5 means it's playing at half speed, and at 2, it's double speed, and at 1.5 plays in 1 and a half (1.5x) speed, and so on.

Example for a sliding down pitch trumpet like a trombone:

play sound[trumpet v]
repeat(8)
change pitch by(-0.125)::sound
wait(0.125)secs
end
repeat(8)
change pitch by(0.125)::sound
wait(0.125)secs

A melodic drum

set pitch to(1)::sound
play drum(1 v)for(0.5)beats
set pitch to(1.1)::sound
play drum(1 v)for(0.5)beats
set pitch to(1.25)::sound
play drum(1 v)for(0.5)beats
set pitch to(1.4)::sound
play drum(1 v)for(0.5)beats
set pitch to(1.5)::sound
play drum(1 v)for(0.5)beats
setet pitch to(1)::sound
play drum(4 v)for(0.5)beats

I just have one small complaint. “pitch” refers to the frequency of sound, not how fast it is played. you can still increase the pitch while playing at normal speed (think autotune). however, I totally support the idea.

set pitch offset to (0) Hz ::sound
change pitch offset by (1) Hz ::sound

set playback speed to (1)x ::sound
change playback speed by (0.25)x ::sound

set pitch to(bump v)::sound

That would be nice to add! Because i always have to use Audacity and my computer has 3 GB of RAM so it takes alot for long songs that dure 5+ minutes.

One little issue on your musical vocabulary:

Pitch refers to the FREQUENCY, not the speed!!!

Other than that support!

Roblox has a pitch system that controls how fast the sound will play, just like we are supporting the new block to set how fast sounds will play.

Pitch isn't the same thing as speed though, so you should probably rename it.
Support for separate blocks for pitch and speed.

Have you decided to look up frequency in the dictionary? Because to me it seems you haven't

Google wrote:
noun
1. <—You are thinking STATISTICS
the rate at which something occurs or is repeated over a particular period of time or in a given sample.
“shops have closed with increasing frequency during the period”
STATISTICS
the ratio of the number of actual to possible occurrences of an event.
STATISTICS
the (relative) number of times something occurs in a given sample.
2. <—THIS is what you need to read
the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.

Yep. Duplicate.

No, that's a suggestion for a block that senses pitch - not sets it.

Wanted to use this idea too

They need to add these in next scratch update

options for {setting}
1. Volume
2. Pitch
3. Speed
4. Time Position
5. Low Gain
6. Mid Gain
7. High Gain
8. Stereo Pan (-10 = left, 10 = right, 0 = both)
9. Surround Pan (-10 = rear, 10 = front, 0 = both)
10. Distortion

options for {action}
1. Play sound (plays in regular state)
2. Stop sound (also applies to inverted/upside down sounds)
3. Pause sound (also applies to inverted/upside down sounds)
4. Play inverted
5. Play upside down

[{action} v][ v] :: sound stack
change [{setting} v] of [ v] by (0):: sound stack
set [{setting} v] of [ v] to (0):: sound stack
([{setting} v] of [ v]:: sound) // In this case, "length" can be used to replace {setting}
when [{setting} v] of [ v] > ():: sound hat
