-- Tracking Noise channel volume peaks
-- by AnS, 2012
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Showcases following functions:
-- * sound.get()
-- * taseditor.markedframe()
-- * taseditor.getmarker()
-- * taseditor.setmarker()
-- * taseditor.getnote()
-- * taseditor.setnote()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Usage:
-- Run the script, unpause emulation.
-- When the "Auto function" checkbox is checked, the script will
-- automatically create Markers on various frames according to ingame music.
-- These Markers should help you see music patterns,
-- so you can adjust input precisely creating nice Tool-Assisted dances.
--
-- This script uses Noise channel volume as an indicator for setting Markers,
-- but it's possible to use any other property of sound channels
-- as a factor to decide whether to set Marker on current frame.
--
-- The script was tested on Super Mario Bros, Megaman and Duck Tales.
-- You may want to see it in slow-mo. Use -/= hotkeys to change emulation speed.
--
-- To create customized script for your game, first use SoundDisplay.lua
-- to collect and analyse statistics about ingame music. Then choose
-- which channel you want to sync your input to. Finally, change this script
-- so that Markers will be created using new set of rules.
