Salute<br />

Salute sound<br />

<strong>FINALE</strong> <strong>Fireworks</strong> <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />

The Salute sound controls let you select and modify the sound that’s played when the salute explodes.<br />

Name<br />

Sound<br />

Attribute<br />

Menu<br />

The Sound menu gives you a choice of sounds that are played when the salute explodes. The names of the<br />

sounds that you can choose from are self-descriptive: Whoosh, Pop, Thud shriek, and so on.<br />

Volume<br />

Slider (Fraction)<br />

Sets the amplitude of the sound as a percentage of its unattenuated amplitude. A volume of 1.0 is<br />

completely unattenuated; a volume of 0.0 is silent. The amplitude isn’t affected by the salute’s caliber or the<br />

Flash > size setting.<br />

Pitch shift<br />

Slider (-1.0 = one octave lower; 1.0 = one octave higher)<br />

Shifts the pitch of the sound by as much as an octave lower (-1.0) to an octave higher (1.0). Pitch shifting is<br />

effected by changing the playback speed of the soundfile. Shifting the sound lower will increase its duration;<br />

shifting it higher will increase the duration.<br />

Random pitch shift<br />

Slider (-1.0 = one octave lower; 1.0 = one octave higher)<br />

Adds a random amount of pitch shift to the sound. You can declare a random pitch shift from an octave<br />

lower to an octave higher than the pitch defined by the Pitch shift attribute. For example, if you set Pitch<br />

shift to -0.5 (half an octave lower than the “natural” pitch of the sound) and set Random pitch shift to 0.3, the<br />

pitch shift for a specific salute will be somewhere between -0.2 (a fifth of an octave below the natural pitch)<br />

and -0.5 (a half an octave lower than natural).<br />
