I had placed this topic at the Share your work forum a month ago, but I didn’t  manage to solve a problem with Java, so I ask again for help.

 

I tried to make a program, where someone can draw using known digital tools and simultaneously hears the sound of his painting.

This is my first program using processing. You can download it from the link below.

The color is related to musical note, the thickness of the tools is related to amplitude, the mouse motion to tempo.

 

I know  my code is not so good. I only want to know if it works. The user must hear a general sound that can switch on/off and a sound coming from the drawing tools.

 

Here are some videos to get an  idea.

I am about to present it in September so any comments or impovemeats are wellcome.

My problem  is the following.

 I made the program using Java version 1.6.0_31 and everything worked fine. After installing Java 7, I hear only one of the sounds above, when I use the executable file. If I uninstall Java 7 and use Java version 1.6.0_31 works fine again. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?   Can I do something to fix it?

 

Thanks.

I am working on a project that must convert real time drawings to music.

I started with some drawing tools, like paintbrush, spray and so on. Now I am thinking to map colors (I convert them to grayscale) to musical notes, the speed of the mouse to volume, the thickness of the paintbrush to amplitude.

The user will also be able to choose an instrument, piano, guitar, violin and others.

I decided to work with minim 2.1.0 beta. I made a toneInstrument (like the examples in minim) and I call it, when drawing.

The problem is that I hear the same note pressed again and again and it doesn' t sound good. I want to hear continues sound as long as I paint.

How can I do this?

Any ideas, please?

Thank you for your time.

Which music library should I choose? Minim, beads, Jmusic? Where can I find documentation and perhaps examples?

I have to handle the note, the volume, the organ, the pan,some sound effects.

This is my first program in processing and my code isn't probably good, but I 'm trying.

Any ideas, please?

Thank you for your time.

I am trying to make a drawing program. I have managed so far to draw with paintbrush using different colors and weights, but I cant make a tool that looks like a spray or a filltool. Any ideas please ?

Thank you.

Hi everybody,

I am working on a project that must create music from drawing. I want to use the color selector tool that processing 1.5.1 already has. Where can I find the code and how can I use it in my project?

Thanks.
