PlayRange

PlayRange

is an option for Play and related functions which specifies what range of sound amplitude levels should be included.

Details

  • All amplitudes are scaled so that the amplitude levels to be included lie within the range that can be output.
  • Amplitude levels outside the specified range are clipped.
  • The possible settings for PlayRange are:
  • Allinclude all amplitude levels
    Automaticoutlying levels are dropped
    {amin,amax}explicit amplitude limits

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (1)

Sample with an automatic PlayRange:

Keep function values between 0 and 1; this will create additional distortion:
