Sound in P5

Today we worked with a library for sound.

Free sounds for downloading

The functions connected to sound are added into the project with a library. This means that at the top of the html-file we need to add this:

<script src=”path/to/p5.sound.js”></script>

At the time of writing, the latest version of the sound library does some weird clipping. But this one seems to work:

<script src=”https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/p5.js/0.6.1/addons/p5.sound.min.js”/><script>

We of course also need to upload a soundfile to the project.

Basic sound play

let mySound;   //create a variable to 
               //represent your sound

function preload()  //preload in case the file is big
{ //load your sound file
  mySound = loadSound("CASH2.mp3");  
}

function setup() {
  createCanvas(400, 400);
  mySound.play();  //command to play the sound
}

function draw() {
  background(220);
}

function mouseClicked()
{   //Of course you can trigger it many ways
    mySound.play();  
}

Concepts we worked with

play(); 
playMode();
pause(); 
jump();
stop(); 
currentTime();
jump();
reverseBuffer();
setVolume();

Homework is to have something triggering sound using keyboard or mouse, and preferably with something nice on the screen.
