Unfortunately, Sonia will need to be upgraded like every applet from the alpha versions of Processing. Since it doesn't deal with visual things, it's mostly a search-and-replace thing which shouldn't take very long. But 0085 now supports libraries, which hopefully Amit will take advantage of.

Looking at the Sonia's download/ directory, it looks like there might be a beta version (versions 2.9 and 2.8 beta are up, I don't know if either work). I'd just wait for an official release, though - it shouldn't be too far off.

Hey Guys, I'll be porting Sonia to Beta (85) this evening and post the links. Sorry for lagging behind

I tried out this example (from the archives of Sonia):

import pitaru.sonia_v2_9.*;

void setup(){
  size(512,200);
  Sonia.start(this); // Start Sonia engine.
  LiveInput.start(256); // Start LiveInput and return 256 FFT frequency bands.
}

void loop(){
  background(0,30,0);
  getMeterLevel(); // Show meter-level reading for Left/Right channels.
  getSpectrum(); // Show FFT reading
}

void getSpectrum(){

  strokeWeight(0);
  stroke(0,230,0);
 // populate the spectrum array with FFT values.
  LiveInput.getSpectrum();
  // draw a bar for each of the elements in the spectrum array.
  // Note - the current FFT math is done in Java and is very raw. expect optimized alternative soon.
  for ( int i = 0; i < LiveInput.spectrum.length; i++){
     line(i*2, height, i*2, height - LiveInput.spectrum[i]/10);
  }
}

void getMeterLevel(){
  // get Peak level for each channel (0 -> Left , 1 -> Right)
  // Value Range: float from 0.0 to 1.0
  // Note: use inputMeter.getLevel() to combine both channels (L+R) into one value.
  float meterDataLeft = LiveInput.getLevel(Sonia.LEFT);
  float meterDataRight = LiveInput.getLevel(Sonia.RIGHT);

  // draw a volume-meter for each channel.
  strokeWeight(100);
  stroke(0,100,0);
  float left = meterDataLeft*height;
  float right = meterDataRight*height;
  line(width/2 - 120, height, width/2 - 120 , height - left);
  line(width/2 + 120, height, width/2 + 120, height - right);
}

// Safely close the sound engine upon Browser shutdown.
public void stop(){
   Sonia.stop();
   super.stop();
}

And get these errors when I try to run it:

Grz, Kris.

I havn't had the chance to update the example code, and they're all written for Processing 68.

So you'll need to make some changes to the code, have it fit the new processing syntax. The only thing i see here is replacing the loop() event with draw()

let me know if it works for you

amit

The top comes from the strokeCap(SQUARE); being standard ROUND?

Grz, Kris.
