RipScripts can use RipCuts to store notes temporarily: For example, to play a
selection in reverse without affecting the original notes, it could copy the notes to
a new RipCut, reverse them, play them back and then remove the RipCut.
•
The Sound Palette RipScript uses them to store samples of instruments and other
sounds.
•
Ripples are also stored as RipCuts.
RipList
A RipList is a collection of Rip files, akin to a playlist, shown at the top-right of the RipX
window.
Ripper
The Ripper uses sophisticated algorithms to split audio into separate notes,
harmonics, frequencies, amplitudes, phases and slices, creating a Rip file.
Ripple
A Ripple is an automatic recording of edits make to a loop during its playback. It is
created in the Rip format and kept beneath the Rip from which it was created in the
RipList Panel.
RipScript
A RipScript is a script (or small computer program) written in Python 3 that can
automate audio processing and provide a user interface in RipX.
Sample
An audio clip in waveform format.
Slice
A separate value for pitch, volume, panning and phase is stored by RipX at regular
intervals of time, just under 1/100
th
second. Each interval of time is called a Slice.
Timbre
The character of a note that is unique to the voice, instrument or sound that
performed it.
Volume
Volume determines how loud a note sounds. Also see Amplitude, Decibel and
Loudness.
Wave
For example, a sine wave, is a simple regular to and fro motion which notes are
generally comprised of at the most basic level. Waves are stored in traditional audio
formats and represent the movements a speaker needs to make for air to vibrate so
that sound can be heard by a person.
Waveform
An audio file containing the speaker positions needed to recreate a recorded sound.
Widget
A user interface item such as a button, check box, combo box, or slider that can be
added to a window in a RipScript.
