volume (sound channel)
Syntax
sound(
whichChannel
).volume
the volume of sound
channelNum
Description
Sound channel property; determines the volume of the sound channel specified by channelNum
. Sound channels are numbered 1, 2, 3, and so on. Channels 1 and 2 are the channels that appear in the Score.
The value of the volume
sound property ranges from 0 (mute) to 255 (maximum volume). A value of 255 indicates the full volume set for the machine, as controlled by the soundLevel
property, and lower values are scaled to that total volume. This property allows several channels to have independent settings within the available range.
The lower the value of the volume
sound property, the more static or noise you're likely to hear. Using soundLevel
may produce less noise, although this property offers less control.
To see an example of volume (sound channel)
used in a completed movie, see the Sound Control movie in the Learning\Lingo Examples folder inside the Director application folder.
Example
This statement sets the volume of sound channel 2 to 130, which is a medium sound level setting:
sound(2).volume = 130
