Processing 1.0 - Processing Discourse - New JavaSound-based library

New JavaSound-based library (Read 2494 times)

krister Junior Member Offline Posts: 58	New JavaSound-based library May 9^th, 2005, 12:42pm Called Ess. Please have a look if you want to use sound in your applets (Java 1.3 or better). Lots of methods that do all kinds of fun stuff! http://www.tree-axis.com/Ess

Hi Krister

This looks great. It is really cool to use sound in Processing without Jsynth.

Could you please include the docs into the download file, I would also be interested in the source.

Do you have any more plans with that library sequencing would be really cool. I am looking on that in the moment to build interactiv music peaces.

Hi!

Thanks a thousand for the lib. I was currently planning in doig a Java plugin in the same way as Jsynth but based in GPL'd SuperCollider.

But seeing what you did (no need of plugin) I think I'll drop the idea and focus on the other lib idea I had.

I would also be interested in the sourcecode, if you do release it, let us know.

I'll try to have a closer look at the API and comment if any.

again,
thanks

Thanks guys. I will release the source in the future, once it has been banged on a bit (and cleaned up). It's several thousand lines. JavaSound is crap so I had to write everything from scratch (or use open source/WOL code for a couple of higher-level effects). Even basic things like volume and pan control.

I'll include the docs in the next release.

Feel free to offer suggestions. E-mail is good too.

I am currently working on real-time synthesis and effects, and also microphone/line input. Sequencing is a lower priority, but it may become integral to a project I'm working on so it may get bumped up the priority list.

Thanks Tom. (And thank Toxi for making his FFT code publicly available--it worked much better than the code I had initially written.)

I want to work some of the kinks out (there have been some reports of latency issues on some PCs) and tighten things up a bit, then I'd be happy to release the code or CVS it.

Streaming (for mp3s and generative sound) is coming, as is mic/line input. I'd be happy to hear your thoughts as I'm working out the API at the moment.

I've been having a play at using this library for sounds in the game I'm writing, and it's doing a pretty good job.

The only latency issues I've found are if you try to play() a Channel, if it's already playing, it seems to take 1/2 a second or so for it to "rewind" and seesm to pause the applet whilst it's doing it. Thankfully I can work aroudn htis by having arrays of the same sample, and playing whichever one isn't still playing at the moment.

I'm also having problems loading MP3s via myChannel.loadSound(), it's just giving me "Unable to load sound music.mp3" on the text output, similarly to if I try to load a .wav file it doesn't like. Does the mp3 have to be a specific bitrate or anything do you know?

krister Junior Member Offline Posts: 58	Re: New JavaSound-based library Reply #10 - May 19^th, 2005, 7:06pm Yes, this is something that I've just about squashed--a weird JavaSound quirk. It seems to only affect PCs (you are on a PC, right?). I should have a fix up by early next week. For MP3s, did you install the libraries correctly (as per on the home page)?

taifunbrowser Junior Member Offline Posts: 81	Re: New JavaSound-based library Reply #11 - Jan 22^nd, 2007, 1:16am Sorry for the necro: I am using processing's core.jar in eclipse to make my stuff, and therefore I am confused as to exactly what I need to import to make mp3's load correclty. unfortunately, .wav's dont load either. Have you nailed down the specifics of what kind of audio can be loaded?

mflux Senior Member Offline Posts: 388	Re: New JavaSound-based library Reply #12 - Jan 22^nd, 2007, 4:01am I have the same problem with johnG. When repeatedly playing an mp3 I get cracks and dropouts as the sound is trying to reload..
