SamplePlayer now sends the loop-end macro's longest period to every processor after scale or root changes, so playback's pitch-preservation cutoff follows the loop-point snapping range. The processor converts seconds to fractional samples and keeps its 61 ms fallback until configured.

  • Include the longest allowed period in macro snapping (<=).
  • Configure the default scale before loading voice audio.
  • Include the existing unstaged MacroParam.getValue() → value getter change.
  • Add a regression covering preservation of a 100 ms loop at a playback-range edge, including retaining the threshold across buffer loading.

Validation: vp check, vp test run (296 passed, 1 skipped), vp run build, and vp run test:browser (41 passed).

Remaining issues to consider before merging:

  • Negative octaves still index outside the frequency table. Direct frequency calculation would fix this and the scale note-name octave mismatch.
  • longestPeriod is normalized when normalization is enabled; sending it as seconds is only correct with normalize: false. Retain the original duration to support normalization.
  • The shared threshold also changes keytracking, timestretch, click smoothing, and drift behavior. Consider separating those boundaries; amplitude compensation still uses its own ~61 ms cutoff.
  • Direct macro edits bypass propagation, and processor messages are asynchronous rather than atomic with AudioParam updates. Moving loop quantization into the processor remains a possible follow-up.
  • Sample loading resets a custom scale to defaults. Decide whether custom scale settings should survive reloads.
  • The included accessor rename removes getValue(); decide whether to retain an alias or document the API break before release.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Loaded samples now use the default scale before playback, helping keep pitch and loop settings in sync.
    • Pitch preservation now follows the loop’s longest period, including when no period is available.
    • Macro values now snap correctly when they exactly match the longest period.
    • Loop playback now maintains the configured spacing between wraps for both short and long loops.

- Send the longest loop period after scale and root changes
- Include the longest period in snapping and retain fractional thresholds
- Include load ordering and MacroParam value accessor edits
- Cover preservation of loops above the previous cutoff

Walkthrough

SamplePlayer now applies the default scale before submitting loaded audio and updates the processor’s pitch-preservation threshold when scale or root-note settings change. Macro period snapping and processor threshold handling are updated, with tests for two loop lengths.

Changes

Sample loop pitch preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Macro period behavior
src/nodes/params/macros/MacroParam.ts
Period snapping now includes targets equal to the longest period. MacroParam exposes the controller’s current value through a value getter.
Sample player threshold updates
src/nodes/instruments/Sample/SamplePlayer.ts
#loadAudio applies the default scale before sending audio data and zero crossings to the voice pool. Scale and root-note updates refresh each voice’s pitch-preservation threshold from the loop-end macro’s longest period, or use 0 when no period is available.
Processor threshold handling and loop tests
src/worklets/processors/play/sample-player-processor.js, src/worklets/processors/play/test/loop-range-clamp.test.ts
The processor converts finite, nonnegative threshold values from seconds to samples. Tests check wrap spacing for 92- and 4,800-sample loops; the longer-loop case sets a 0.101-second threshold.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ed7d5

Loop pitch preservation now follows the configured scale. However, code that calls macro.getValue() will break after upgrading. Scales applied with normalization also give the audio processor the wrong loop-length threshold, so pitch preservation can misclassify loops. Resolve both, or explicitly accept them, before merging.

Send an unnormalized duration to the processor.

When setScale() uses normalize, longestPeriod is not in seconds. The processor multiplies this value by sampleRate, so it uses the normalized scalar as a duration and classifies loop lengths against the wrong threshold. Preserve the unnormalized longest period and send that value instead.

Retain getValue() for compatibility.

This removes a public method. Existing callers that use macro.getValue() will fail after the upgrade. Keep getValue(): number { return this.value; } while adding the value getter, or document this as a major-version migration.
