minim - sync timer with music playback
Mar 17th, 2010, 9:43am  
hello

im writing a small tool .. sort of a "painting to music" app
anyway .. i cant get a timer to sync with minim music playback

my first test loads a mp3 .. and then play the music with minims AudioPlayer

i want to have a timer exacly timed with the music
now i use the millis() in processing .. but if the music lags for some
reason .. timer gets out of sync with sound ..

i cant find a timer-function-reader in minim.. have i missed it?

another question i have is: is it possible to set position in the audio playback?   like start playing the mp3 at 1:33 .. or jump to 2:11 ?

if you have an answer to these question
i would be greatful to hear them!  Smiley

Have you tried the position() method of the AudioPlayer object  The documentation says that will return the current playback position.

Similarly, you can use skip(int millis) to skip to a particular playback point.

See javadoc for AudioPlayer:
