How can I make the text to sound?

jeremy_wilde

Hi guys, I asked this once, but still can't make it works..

I want to make the sentence I make to convert little melody when enterkey pressed.

those are codes

import ddf.minim.*;

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

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

boolean playSong=false;

void setup() { 
  size(500, 400); 
  font = createFont("whiteday10-48.vlw", 14); 
  textFont(font, 32); 
  fill(7,161,8);
  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(0);

  if (playSong) { 
    for (int i=0; i<key_num; i++) { 
      playNote(t[i]);
    }
  } else
  { 
    for (int i=0; i<key_num; i++) { 
      text(t[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;
    }
  }
}

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

void playNote(int KeyCode) { 
  if (KeyCode==65) { 
    c.play();
  }
  if (KeyCode==66) { 
    d.play();
  }
  if (KeyCode==67) { 
    e.play();
  }
  if (KeyCode==68) { 
    f.play();
  }
  if (KeyCode==69) { 
    g.play();
  }
  if (KeyCode==70) { 
    a.play();
  }
  if (KeyCode==71) {
    b.play();
  }
}

keycodes are just examples..

I hope someone shows me the functional code that I can understand. thanks for reading..

Chrisir

???

Didn't you like my way??

You are making it worse

jeremy_wilde

No chrisir, I really appreciate your help really I do

I just can't make them work I'm crying right now...

I just started processing, I can't get it work..

Thing I did was try to make it sound but I have no clue right now..

jeremy_wilde

In println section I can see the keycord for the sound but

how can I apply those keycord to minim?

Chrisir

I posted my version in the other thread

Did it work??

Where it says =='a'

Did you type abababb and hit return in my code?

jeremy_wilde

after I typed abaaaaba, I hit enterkey

jeremy_wilde

yes... returnkey

jeremy_wilde

After I run this code, I typed aaccdd, when I hit return It doesn't sound

I've got the mp3 files matched name on data folder in same folder.

Chrisir

Now we are talking

when you write

c.play(); in draw does it work?

Maybe you need to turn the play for loop to just play and i++; after a few frames

jeremy_wilde

I want the sound once, when I hit return,

like if I typed aabbcc and return, It sound aabbcc once sequentially.

    } 
    if (key_num >= num) {

}

void keyPressed() {

jeremy_wilde

like this way

Chrisir

Does it work?

You haven't answered.

Chrisir

I can't run your code, I don't have your mp3

jeremy_wilde

nooooo It doesn't work...

Chrisir

Now we are talking

when you write

c.play(); in draw does it work?

Maybe you need to turn the play for loop to just play and i++; after a few frames

jeremy_wilde

I can't understand the last sentence.

you mean c.play(); to c.loop(); ?

It still doesn't work.. I dont get it either I'm suck at english or suck at processing

maybe both..

Eeyorelife

You need to isolate the problem. You need find out exactly where the problem lies. So if you try to say c.play in setup() just to see if the audio file plays like it should. I think that's what Chrisir is trying to say.

Chrisir

thanks....

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Chrisir :)

I can't even explain how thankful I am right now! I just check this question!

It does work perfectly.

I change a bit. thank you so much!!

I try to add some bgm for the melody. I truly thank for you help! thank you so much!

this is proceeding code right now! ( I think I use thx so much too much haha)

Chrisir

the main issue was this btw

if (key!=8) {  // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    t[key_num] = key; 
    key_num++;
  } else if (key==RETURN||key==ENTER) { 
    playSong=true;
  } 

since we start with if (key!=8) { it failed, because return is also != 8, it never came to playsong = true............

Bad.

I found out by placing println("1"); what never got executed, so I got suspicious....

    if (key!=8) { 
        t[key_num] = key; 
        key_num++;
      } else if (key==RETURN||key==ENTER) { 
        println("1"); // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
        playSong=true;
      } 

Then he played all notes at once, so I had to tear down the for-loop in draw() and place a timer there.... puuh!

Best, Chrisir ;-)

jeremy_wilde

wow.. I got to study that part even though I can't understand right now

I'm gonna btw !!

thank you!! :) :)
