Take a look at the Minim library that comes with Processing. Open Processing and go to "File > Examples > Libraries > Minim (Sound) > LoadFile".

It's quite simple and you can easily modify it to combine it with e.g. this

Good luck. Smiley

first of all, please excuse my inexperience. i am a processing and minim n00b and i am having some trouble figuring out my problem.

i'm looking to do something similar to the OP except i want to use images for the buttons.

so bascially what i am trying to achieve is this:
1. to have 4 clickable buttons but i want to use images for each state: base, rollover, and pressed. each button will have a different image.

2. each button will trigger a different sample. clicking the button again will stop playback.

3. all samples will be in the same bpm. if one sample has been triggered and is playing, clicking another button will trigger its sample but it will play in synch with the sample the was already playing.

4. essentially, if all 4 buttons are clicked, all samples will play in synch.

i don't know how/if i should create an array of buttons.

any help will be appreciated and i am sorry if i hijacked this thread.

thanks!

Hey richs

The image button you can find a sample of in "File > Examples > Topics > GUI > ImageButton".

I'm not sure about the timing issues but you might be able to use the time functions to solve this. I don't have much knowledge about SoundCipher but it could seem like it was made for something like this:
