scritcher command reference
---

scritcher scripts are shell-like commands separated by a semicolon.

## parameters of the arg type

some commands allow a `:N` syntax where N is an integer to use a given
argument when `scritcher` is called. so, for example, calling a script:
```
load :0;
showpath;
```

and then doing `scritcher path/to/script.scri arg` will print `arg` on the
screen and then exit.

## split and index arguments

plugin commands have a split and an index argument so that you can select
where in the file you want the plugin to be ran.

so, if you did `plugin 3 1...`, it would split the file in 3, then get the
part that is of index 1 (starting at 0).

**Keep in mind parts start from the bottom of the file.**

## `load path_or_arg`

Load a file into memory. The file MUST end with the bmp extension (and so MUST
be a bmp. feel free to put other files, no warranties are given.)

## `amp split index gain`

Run the eg-amp plugin over the given slice of the file.

## `rflanger split index delay_depth_avg law_freq`

Run the Retro Flanger script from the SWH plugins.

 - `delay_depth_avg` is for the `Average stall (ms)` parameter of the plugin.
 - `law_freq` is for the `Flange frequency` parameter of the plugin.

## `eq split index lo mid hi`

Run the DJ EQ plugin from the SWH plugins.

`lo`, `mid`, and `hi` are the respective dB gains for each frequency range.

All three ranges accept gains from -70dB to +6dB.
Default is 0 for all (no action taken).

## `phaser split index lfo_rate lfo_depth fb spread`

Run the LFO Phaser plugin from the SWH plugins.

Parameters:
 - `lfo_rate`: LFO Rate (Hz), 0..100, default 25
 - `lfo_depth`: LFO depth, 0..1, default 0.25
 - `fb`: Feedback, -1..1, default 0
 - `spread`: Spread (octaves), 0..2, default 1

## `mbeq split index band_1 band_2 band_3 band_4 band_5 band_6 band_7 band_8 band_9 band_10 band_11 band_12 band_13 band_14 band_15`

Multiband EQ from the SWH plugins.

In respective order, the band arugments represent the:
50Hz, 100Hz, 156Hz, 220Hz, 311Hz, 440Hz, 622Hz, 880Hz 1250Hz, 1750Hz, 2500Hz,
3500Hz, 5000Hz, 10000Hz and 20000Hz frequencies.

All of them represent the band's gain in dB. The range is -70 to +30dB,
default is 0.

## `chorus split index voices delay_base voice_spread detune law_freq attendb`

Multivoice Chrorus from the SWH plugins.

Parameters:
 - `voices`: Number of voices (int), 1..8, default 1
 - `delay_base`: Delay base (ms), 10..40, default 10
 - `voice_spread`: Voice separation (ms), 0-2, default 0.5
 - `detune`: Detune (%), 0..5, default 1
 - `law_freq`: LFO frequency (Hz), 2..30, default 9
 - `attendb`: Output attenuation (dB), -20..0, default 0

## `pitchscaler split index mult`

Runs the Higher Quality Pitch Scaler from the SWH plugins.

The `mult` parameter is the pitch coefficient, range from 0.5..2, default 1.

## `reverb split index roomLength roomHeight sourceLR sourceFB listLR listFB hpf warmth diffusion`

Run the Early Reflection Reverb from the Invada Studio plugins.

**TODO** Parameter list

## `highpass split index freq gain noClip`

Run the High Pass Filter from the Invada Studio plugins.

Parameters:
 - `freq`: Frequency. 20..20000, default 1000
 - `gain`: Gain, 0..12, default 0
 - `noClip`: Soft Clip (assumed boolean), 0..1, default 0

## `delay seed gain feedback_pc tap_count first_delay delay_range delay_scale delay_rand_pc gain_scale wet`

Parameters:
 - `seed`: Random seed, 0..1000, default 0
 - `gain`: Input gain (dB), -96..24, default 0
 - `feedback_pc`: Feedback (%), 0..100, default 0
 - `tap_count`: Number of taps, 2..128, default 2
 - `first_delay`: First delay (s), 0..5, default 0
 - `delay_range`: Delay range (s), 0..6, default 6
 - `delay_scale`: Delay change, 0..5, default 1
 - `delay_rand_pc`: Delay random (%), 0..100, default 0
 - `gain_scale`: Amplitude change, 0.2..5, default 1
 - `wet`: Dry/wet mix, 0..1, default 1

## TODO `vinyl split index year warp click wear`

VyNil effect from SWH.

Parameters:
 - `year`: Year (int), 1900..1990, default 1990
 - `rpm`: RPM (int), 33..78, default 33
 - `warp`: Surface Warping, 0..1, default 0
 - `click`: Crackle, 0..1, default 0
 - `wear`: Wear, 0..1, default 0

## TODO `echo split index delay`

Run an echo filter on the given loaded file.

## TODO `noise split index seed`

Inject white noise on the image.

## `quicksave`

Save the file on the same directory of the file specified by `load`, but
with a suffix on the filename (before extension).

Doing consecutive `quicksave`s will not overwrite any files, the suffixes will
just be different.
