BeatDetect - substitute image for text? (Read 548 times)
BeatDetect - substitute image for text?
Feb 18th, 2010, 6:11am
 
Hi

I want to substitute an image in place of the text a Minim BeatDetect tutorial. It's the Frequency Energy one. My major issue is that whilst I can get an image in place of the text, I can't get it to resize itself in response to the beat ((kickSize) in the sketch). Basically I want the image to pulse to the beat instead of the text.

I'm new to Processing, so I'm sure it's probably just a syntax thing - I'm sorry if I'm just being a bit dim here, or if I've missed another thread on this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've posted the code from the tutorial below because I can't post active links yet. Thanks :)

import ddf.minim.*;
import ddf.minim.analysis.*;

Minim minim;
AudioPlayer song;
BeatDetect beat;
BeatListener bl;

float kickSize, snareSize, hatSize;

void setup()
{
 size(512, 200, P3D);
 
 minim = new Minim(this);
 
 song = minim.loadFile("marcus_kellis_theme.mp3", 2048);
 song.play();
 beat = new BeatDetect(song.bufferSize(), song.sampleRate());
 beat.setSensitivity(300);  
 kickSize = snareSize = hatSize = 16;
 bl = new BeatListener(beat, song);  
 textFont(createFont("Helvetica", 16));
 textAlign(CENTER);
}

void draw()
{
 background(0);
 fill(255);
 if ( beat.isKick() ) kickSize = 32;
 if ( beat.isSnare() ) snareSize = 32;
 if ( beat.isHat() ) hatSize = 32;
 textSize(kickSize);
 text("KICK", width/4, height/2);
 textSize(snareSize);
 text("SNARE", width/2, height/2);
 textSize(hatSize);
 text("HAT", 3*width/4, height/2);
 kickSize = constrain(kickSize * 0.95, 16, 32);
 snareSize = constrain(snareSize * 0.95, 16, 32);
 hatSize = constrain(hatSize * 0.95, 16, 32);
}

void stop()
{
 song.close();
 minim.stop();
 super.stop();
}
