Audio Channel Pointer: For individual handeling of Sample Instances

[King_Cool]

I created the Audio Channel Pointer concept with some simple MMF2 code ( 2 Events, 1 Object, 1 loop ).

When you have Samples that you know will overlap itself, and you need to set any of Volume, Position or Pan seperatly for each Sample Instance, the Audio Channel Pointer comes in handy.

- What you do is run the ACP loop before you play the Sample ( Same Event )
- The ACP loop runs through all of MMF2s Audio Channels ( 32 ), and remembers the first empty Audio Channel ( this is the Channel your Sample will be playing on )
- Now you know which Channel your Sample is being played on, and you can referr to this Channel ( Same Event ) to correctly change the Sample Instances Position, Volume or Pan.

...
Why not use 'Set Sample Volume/ Set Sample Position/ Set Sample Pan' you may ask.
Well, when using any of the above MMF2 finds the first Channel playing the specific Sample, and applies the action only to that Channel.
This means, if you have:

Uppon pressing SPACE
- Play Sample BOOM
- Set Volume of Sample BOOM to 0

And press SPACE 3 times ( so that the Samples overlap ), you will hear 2 BOOMs since only the first one is ever being muted.

...

THE ACP EXAMPLE
- Press SPACE to play Sample "Dragster", and set random Volum and Pan.

Or alternatively, just use my evented sound wrapper which deals with this beautifully and many, many more things. Unfortunately, due to MMF2's lack of the ability to create custom conditions, actions, and expressions I can not provide this in a beginner-friendly solution.

Don't worry, Nifflas, I've been working on that extension for a while now. I even had to make Structured Data object to make it possible to create the program that lets you set it up

Feature wise my sound wrapper doesn't need more features e.g. data/storage stuff. Only custom ACEs so it won't have to be operated though alterable values. Really looking forward to the release of that tho.
