Examples: Buffer.write

When the mouse button is pressed, transfers the contents of a buffer to Processing via the minim library, and plays back the sound (inside Processing itself) with a waveform visualisation.

Processing Code

import supercollider.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import ddf.minim.*;

Buffer buffer;
AudioPlayer song;

void setup ()
{
  buffer = new Buffer(2);
  buffer.read("/Users/daniel/audio/samples/acoustic/piano-chord.aif",
         this, "done");
}

void done (Buffer buffer)
{
  println("Buffer loaded.");
  println("Channels:    " + buffer.channels);
  println("Frames:      " + buffer.frames);
  println("Sample Rate: " + buffer.sampleRate);  
}

void mousePressed()
{
  buffer.write("/tmp/test.aif", "aiff", "int16", this, "written");
}

void written (Buffer buffer)
{
  println("Buffer written to disk");
  Minim.start(this);
  song = Minim.loadFile("/tmp/test.aif");
  song.play();
}

void draw()
{
  background(0);
  stroke(255);
