How can I make this idea possible? (sound alphabet)

jeremy_wilde

Hi. I'm 22yo design major student.

Sorry for the bad english. I might be suck to understand. I try to make some kind of interaction work that by writing some words, It becomes a short melody on processing. And you can see your typewriting like usual web environment. It don't have to be a certain word and I try to make them sound when enterkey pressed.

this is the example)

In blank space, cursor blinking. You write some short sentences. You press enterkey. It becomes little melody that matched the keycode that you pressed. Like if you write 'a little butterfly' It became 'a' note melody~ 'l' note melody~ 'i' note melody~.

I used Pfont function for the text and Minim for the sound part. However I can't make them work togher.

A little example will helps me to understand, I really appreciate.

Thanks for reading this mess.

show your entire code

@jeremy_wilde====

guidelines:

i suppose that you have an arraylist {"butterfly", "mosquitos", "CIA drones" && you have an another arrayList with the titles of your songs

Arraylist {"happy whe are its springtime", "arrgh!", "god bless the queen"...

you get the id of the one and play the same for the second "play", "getAt()"

Pretty sure they wanted music clips played for each letter, not every word.

jeremy_wilde

yes It's for each letter

It's my code for text

PFont font; int num = 500; char a[] = new char[num]; int key_num = 0; int text_w_gap = 20; int text_h_gap = 30; int ypos = 50;
int xpos = 10; void setup() { size(500, 400); font = loadFont("whiteday10-48.vlw"); textFont(font, 32); }

void draw() { background(0); for (int i=0; i<key_num; i++) { text(a[i], (xpos+(itext_w_gap))%width, ypos+( (int(xpos+(itext_w_gap))) / width * text_h_gap)); } if(key_num >= num) { key_num = 0; } }

void keyPressed() { if (key!=8) { a[key_num] = key; key_num++; } else { key_num--; } println("pressed " + int(key) + " " + keyCode); }

Chrisir

and your code for sound?

Chrisir

PFont font; 
int num = 500; 
char a[] = new char[num]; 
int key_num = 0; 
int text_w_gap = 20; 
int text_h_gap = 30; 
int ypos = 50;
int xpos = 10;

boolean playSong=false; 

void setup() { 
  size(500, 400); 
  font = createFont("whiteday10-48.vlw", 14); 
  textFont(font, 32);
}

void draw() { 
  background(0);

  // ------------------
  if (playSong) { 
    for (int i=0; i<key_num; i++) {
      playNote(a[i]);
    }//for
  }//if
  else
    // ------------------
  {
    for (int i=0; i<key_num; i++) { 
      text(a[i], (xpos+(i*text_w_gap))%width, 
        ypos+( (int(xpos+(i*text_w_gap))) / width * text_h_gap));
    } 
    if (key_num >= num) { 
      key_num = 0;
    }
  }
}// func 

void keyPressed() { 
  if (key!=8) { 
    a[key_num] = key; 
    key_num++;
  } else if (key==RETURN||key==ENTER) {
    playSong=true;
  } else if (key==8) { 
    key_num--;
  } 
  println("pressed " + int(key) + " " + keyCode);
}

jeremy_wilde

thanks for the comments:) I really appreciate

this is my sound part.

import ddf.minim.*; import processing.serial.*;

Minim minim; AudioPlayer c,d,e,f,g,a,b,cc;

int val;

void setup(){ size(200,200);

minim = new Minim(this);

c = minim.loadFile("c.mp3"); d = minim.loadFile("d.mp3"); e = minim.loadFile("e.mp3"); f = minim.loadFile("f.mp3"); g = minim.loadFile("g.mp3"); a = minim.loadFile("a.mp3");

void draw(){ background(255);

if ( myPort.available() > 0) { val = myPort.read(); }

if(val==1){ c.play();

if (c.position() > 600 )

{ c.rewind(); } } if(val==2){ d.play();

if (dm.position() > 600 )

{ d.rewind(); } }

if(val==3){ e.play();

if (e.position() > 600 )

{ e.rewind(); } }

if(val==4){ f.play();

if (f.position() > 600 )

{ f.rewind(); } }

if(val==5){ g.play();

if (g.position() > 600 )

{ g.rewind(); } }

if(val==6){ a.play();

if (a.position() > 600 )

{ a.rewind(); } } if(val==7){ }

println(val); }

this code was for the interaction button piano with arduino.

I try to change this code for only processing but I'm stuck in here..

Chrisir

excellent.

Now, val is giving you the note in your code.

So place this function into playNote() in my code.

void playNote(char val) {

    // as above

}

some changes and it runs.....

jeremy_wilde

thank you so much, Chrisir.

but I still don't know where to put those code.

I'm really sorry but

Could you show me the example for the combined code?

When void playNote... goes into my original text code, It doesn't work...

Chrisir

show your attempt

Serial part doesn't work..

Chrisir

ok you don't need serial because we reading from keybd

this is wrong if (val==1) { c.play();

since we're passing chars to the function

try if (val=='a') { c.play();

I did that

Chrisir

ok, read my comment

I gotta go

jeremy_wilde

Thank you so much Chrisir.

I'll try that way! :)
