How do you implement frequency modulation using the Sound Library?

howhuman — Tue, 17 Jan 2017 20:22:00 +0000

I'm new to the "sound" library. I've seen the examples for additive synthesis, but have not found any examples showing the implementation of frequency modulation. Does it have anything to do with the .add(add) method? Would appreciate any help and/or pointers to existing code that might give me some clues. Thanks so much.

Can't use Sound library

I'm trying to use the sound library (and I also installed every sound library) but I always get the same error:

A library used by this sketch is not installed properly

A library relies on native code that's not available. Or only works properly when the sketch is run as a 32-bit application.

I tried with Processing 2 & 3, both on Win7 64 bits, tried to move Processing to C:\Processing (as I read in another forum), tried to use Processing examples (File-Examples), and other things and I still can't run it.

Thank you.

Sound library's cue() ignores the decimal places?

According to this, you can set a cue point in decimals of seconds with the Sound library. However, it seems to ignore the decimals - using the example, there is no difference between 15 seconds and 15.3. You can notice if you try to cue up a precise beat in a song.

Looking through the SoundFile.java file, I noticed that it seems to treat the cue point as an integer, so I went ahead and changed them all to float, naively I suppose, since I don't really know how to modify libraries and it didn't seem to work.

Any ideas on how to get a precise cue point, preferably in milliseconds with the Sound library? (I know minim can do this, but minim can't play files at different speeds, which is why I was using this library)

Sound Library Confusion

Hello all, I am relatively new to processing here,...

I am trying to get some audio information from a video that I have playing using the video library in processing. I have been clicking around for a couple hours and have seemingly found a way that I can analyze the video's sound information and use the information to trigger events...

My answer came in the form of the sound library; https://processing.org/reference/libraries/sound/index.html

However I have not been able to get the library installed. The 'Sound' library doesn't show up in the 'sketch, import library' dropdown, nor does it appear in the list that you can search through by clicking 'add library'. The other 5 big ones do show up (PDF, DXF, Serial, Net, Video) and then it would appear that the sound library has been replaced by 'Minim'

When I search for documentation about 'minim' I haven't found anything very helpful, spare for that it is indeed a sound library of sorts.

I tried downloading the 'sound' library following the hyperlink off of the processing page I aforementioned, https://github.com/processing/processing-sound

but I don't know what the hell is going on with all of those files. haha.

Someday I will know the answer to all of this but for now I am a lost little n00bie, anyone out there have that magic insight I am looking for?

Thanks a ton!!
