[linux-audio-user] . Re: Animatronic parrot solution?

[Jonathan Segel]

lee suggested PD, i would suggest SuperCollider.

i have written many supercollider patches to do this sort of thing, 
but these are all in Mac - i'm still getting to the point of 
compiling SC in linux in my "free time" (tm). (though closer now, 
with debian unstable +alsa running on an older ppc!)

anyway, in either app:

one continuously running loop that tests (say every 0.1 second) for 
an input volume threshold, which, if crossed, starts a timer and 
starts writing to a buffer.
my SC versions write start and stop sample numbers into an array to 
be accessed later.

second, a loop that tests if there any sample in the buffer, and 
plays back accordingly, at rate*2 or whatever, or fft i guess if you 
want to shift pitch and not rate.

third a loop that plays the default sample if nothing else is playing..


hope that helps somewhat...
