Let's look at a buffer

Oscilloscope: A buffer of samples over time

Amplitude

      for (var i = 0; i < bufLength; i++) {
        x = inputBuffer[i];

          total += Math.max(Math.min(x/this.volMax, 1), -1);

          // SQUARE

          sum += Math.max(Math.min(x/this.volMax, 1), -1), 2) * Math.max(Math.min(x/this.volMax, 1), -1);
      }

      // MEAN
      var average = total/ bufLength;

      // ROOT ... then take the square root of the sum.
      var rms = Math.sqrt(sum / bufLength);

p5.Amplitude

Root Mean Square a buffer of samples

p5.AudioIn()

uses WebRTC Media Stream Track / getUserMedia API 

map(val, inMin, inMax, outMin, outMax)

amplitude.smooth(0.8);

amplitude = logarithmic

dB: -infinity to 0

gain:   0.  to   1.

0.1 sounds 1/2 as loud as 1.0

 

gainToDB: 20 * (Math.log(value) / Math.LN10);

Hz = cycles per second

Sub Bass: 20-60Hz

Bass: 60-250 Hz

Low Midrange: 250-500 Hz

Midrange: 500Hz-2kHz

Upper Midrange: 2-4khz

Presence: 4-6khz

Brilliance: 6kHz - 20kHz

Pitch !== Frequency

"Fundamental frequency"

Harmonics

 

example:

- thumb piano vs violin

- square wave vs sine wave

Taming the FFT

Short buffer - detect onsets

Long buffer - better for frequency precision

44100/1024 ~= 43Hz

Autocorrelation

Compare the signal with itself shifted by x samples. If a lag of x samples correlates, then sampleRate / x may be the fundamental frequency. 

Autocorrelation

pitch detection with lowpass filter

raw autocorrelation

Scheduling Events

.addCue(time, callback, value)

createAudio()

HTML5 <audio>

  • p5.dom --> createAudio
  • Loads without server
  • Preload isn't necessary
  • Can connect to web audio
  • Cannot access raw buffer data

loadSound()

Web Audio API

  • Can access raw buffer data
  • PlaybackRate (i.e. mk-1)
  • Sample-accurate timing

Two Ways to Play Sound

 

.setCue(time, callback, {val})
