Sound stuff (freq modulation!)

Hi - I just started getting into SL and I'm very intrigued. Unfortunately, I am occassionally a compulsive suggester.

I was looking over the sound functions, and noticed that a pitch/frequency function or parameter isn't present. I have a musical background, and would like to bring that to SL - adjusting the pitch of a sound would allow one to create instruments!

Also, and this one is very far out - I would love to see a small sampler - something that collects all audible input within a given range (or from a "Microphone" object), storing it in a circular buffer with size constraints similar to the existing sound objects - 10 seconds total. Maybe with simultaneous record and playback (optional). I can't think of any use cases for this.

Thanks for listening-
-Ivan

LL's sound engine is based on fmod, which means things like pitch change can be supported natively... I don't know about the sampler. Pitch bending could be used for a lot of things, like engines in mechanical devices.

It sure would be great to be able to do a good engine sound with only three samples instead of five or six. Faster to lead, more flexible, and easier on the asset system.

It's a great suggestion.
