Voice reactive typography programme

in General Discussion • Other • 1 year ago

Hey Guys,

Please excuse me if this question is very obvious or has been answered elsewhere on this awesome site, I have just discovered the amazing world of processing and am totally brand new to it but am so excited by what I could do with it potentially. Just have a few questions so please bare with me.

Basically I am wondering if it would be possible using processing to create a programme that could generate typefaces from an audio input?

The generating typefaces bit I can get my head around and find enough resources to help me get started.

However I can't really find much on using audio inputs with processing. Would it even be possible to use a live audio of someone's voice and then analyse it (volume, pitch, tone etc) and then apply that analysis to a set of variables within a typeface?

The above project is something similar (although a little more complex) to what I'd like to achieve except with fewer variables and then those variables controlled by someones voice.

My theory is that everyones' voice it different so everyones' generated typeface would be too?

Like I said I'm very new to this, please be kind. If I need to post this somewhere else let me know and I will.

Cheers,

Joe

First, you posted at the right place, which is rarely the case on a first post...

(at least for generic questions like that)

Second, I suggest to explore the Minim examples coming with Processing. File > Examples... > Libraries > Minim Audio.
I chose the FrequencyEnergy almost at random (but based on the same) and it shows how a font size depends on the audio being played. Other examples show how to sample data from a mic, etc.
You can also look at other audio libraries, they often come with examples to explore.
