@ustk for my purpose it wouldn't have to be real time. I'll look into it. Thanks!

Chazrox

@Christoph-Hart woah! I cant wait to try this! Thank You!

Chazrox

@ustk Do you have a basic example of this you can share? I dont think im aiming for "real time" in a sense that these values have to be calculated during playback. Im guessing I want to use Scriptnode to build some chain but this is new territory for me so im not sure what modules are needed. I can guess that I probably need an audio file drop window that feeds it to an audio player, but thats as far as I can see at the moment. I can explain the logic, but Im unfamiliar with the implementation.

The analyser shows the signals that @Christoph-Hart baked into it, how do I feed my own information into this script?

@Chazrox Scriptnode is not necessary if you don't go real time, so Chris's example has already (almost) what you need.
Ok you want to display an FFT, but from what source? sampler? internal AF? user drag/drop AF?
You must start here, then it'll only be a matter of getting a reference of that AF and feed the buffer.

Here's a starting point

inline function onButton1Control(component, value)
{
	if (value)
	{
		FileSystem.browse(FileSystem.Desktop, false, "", function(result)
		{
			arrayOfBuffers = result.loadAsAudioFile();
			
			// do fft with this array of buffers
		});
	}
};

Content.getComponent("Button1").setControlCallback(onButton1Control);

Chazrox

@ustk Thank You

Im going to script a custom drop panel that will feed an audio file into an audio player. Atleast thats what I think I should do? Then run your script either in a button or inline my DROP script to run automatically. Am I right so far with using an AudioPlayer for that?..because I know we can just read the file AND load the audio file for auditioning at the same time, right?

Christoph Hart

@Chazrox no need for a audio player for a simple playback you can just use Engine.playBuffer()

ustk

@Chazrox Yeah AFs in Hise can be fetched from anywhere, AudioPlayer, Scriptnode, Sampler, etc...
The methods can differ but I imagine there are some examples in the doc and the snippet browser

Chazrox

@Christoph-Hart hmm! I def have some reading to do. This is exciting. Anything you can recommend I read in documentation?

@ustk speaking of 'methods' im investigating and got these...

  {
    "normalise": Method,
    "toCharString": Method,
    "detectPitch": Method,
    "indexOfPeak": Method,
    "toBase64": Method,
    "fromBase64": Method,
    "getMagnitude": Method,
    "getRMSLevel": Method,
    "trim": Method,
    "getPeakRange": Method
  }

All new to me but looks promising!

I have no idea what "Method" is referring to tho. Never seen this before.

@Chazrox start from here:

HISE | Scripting | Buffer

A buffer of floating point data

(docs.hise.audio)

Chazrox

@Christoph-Hart Thanks! Reading that now.

resonant

Sorry if this is an irrelevant question, but how can we use this with online processing?

For example, online pitch detection?

Chazrox

@resonant i'd like to know that too haha.

Chazrox

@resonant do you already know how to do offline analyzing?

resonant

@resonant do you already know how to do offline analyzing?

No I don’t know how to do that. But I’d really like to know real time spectral processing with Hise.
