A command-line musical alarm clock (Python)

2016-12-30T19:06:32-08:00

Python recipe 580739 by Vasudev Ram (alarm, audio, clock, multimedia, music, playsound, python, time, utilities, utility).

This is a simple musical alarm clock in Python. You pass a command-line argument specifying the time in minutes after which the alarm should go off. When that time arrives, it plays a musical sound.

Use PyAudio to play a list of WAV files (Python)

2015-10-22T18:24:08-07:00

Python recipe 579116 by Vasudev Ram (audio, music, python, python2, sound).

This recipe shows how to use PyAudio, a 3rd-party Python audio toolkit, to play a list of WAV files on your computer. This is an enhanced version of a basic WAV code example on the PyAudio site. You can specify either one WAV filename on the command line, like this:

py pyaudio_play_wav.py chimes.wav

or specify a text file containing names of WAV files to play, like this:

py pyaudio_play_wav.py -f wav_fil_list.txt

The only dependency is PyAudio, which you can install with pip.

Simple audio with ctypes and SDL also for Tkinter (Python)

2015-08-17T18:54:17-07:00

Python recipe 579070 by Jiri Justra (audio, sdl, sdl_mixer, tkinter). Revision 3.

I've needed just to play audio in my Tkinter application, but it seems there is no easy way to do this, so I have made this simple code. It is small ctypes wrapper around SDL_mixer.

It should work for Win and *nix also .. I've tested it on ubuntu-14.04.3-desktop-i386

Not Quite So Simple QuickTime Player, Python Audio Capture. (Python)

2014-11-08T19:10:58-08:00

Python recipe 578960 by Barry Walker (apple, audio, audio_capture, capture, macbook_pro, maccbook_pro, sample, signal_capture).

Not Quite So Simple QuickTime Player, Python Audio Capture.

This DEMO code captures a function to generate a user 5 second Audio sample in Apple *.aifc format. It is then converted to DC quailty *.WAV format.

It uses default shell system files to do the task.

An AppleScript is created to do the sample but due to the limitations of QT Player there is a 1.5 second delay to allow QuickTine Player to start up. It is not entirely quiet but unobtrusive enough as to be like quiet mode...

This is again a means a signal capture for an AudioScope without the need for special tools or installs.

Read the code for more information.

IMPORTANT!!! This DEMO WILL delete all *.aifc files inside the default $HOME/Movies directory, so be aware.

A simple ALSA one is on its way too...

It actually works on Python 3.4.1 but I have no idea if it works below Python 2.5.6...

Simple Audio Capture For Windows... (Python)

2014-10-17T14:39:16-07:00

Python recipe 578952 by Barry Walker (audio, audio_capture, capture, sample, signal_capture, windows).

This snippet will capture from approximately 1 second to nearly 10000 hours of audio silently using Windows SoundRecorder.exe and save automatically to a file named SAMPLE.WAV in the C:\Windows\Temp\ folder/drawer/directory. It is 16 bit signed integer depth, stereo and sampled at 44100 Hz. This is for Python 2.0.1 to 3.3.2, (my latest version).

Enjoy finding simple solutions to very difficult problems...

(An OSX version is on its way too...)

Python recipe 578771 by Mano Bastardo (audio, ffmpeg, generate, m3u, mulitmedia, os, playlist, python, system, video). Revision 9.

Generate an m3u playlist searching recursively for multimedia files (video or audio) in the given directory. Information from ID3 tags will be extracted for audio files with FFmpeg available.

How to stream an mp3 file using vlc.py, with a simple TKinter GUI. (Python)

2013-06-09T12:52:30-07:00

Python recipe 578556 by Anton Vredegoor (audio, streaming, tkinter, vlc).

This script can be used to stream an existing mp3 file to multiple computers. It has a simple Tkinter GUI with only one button to start/stop the stream, and a slider to indicate or change the position.

Bash Script For An Oscilloscope... (Bash)

2013-06-19T19:06:50-07:00

Bash recipe 578570 by Barry Walker (anim, audio, audioscope, bash, oscilloscope, scope, script, sound_exchange, sox, terminal).

This code is the latest as of 19-06-2013. It is an AudioScope designed around a Macbook Pro 13" of which only has ONE microphone input. It works under Linux variants too. Read the code for much more info.

It was my way of learning Bash scripting.

It is resident here at this site:-

http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/212939-start-simple-audio-scope-shell-script.html

It started off as a fun idea and is now becoming a very serious project.

As it stands this is fully working but it is uncalibrated and this is where it will stay on this site.

As the above site is the host then all future uploads will be there...

To do list...

DC input. [1] DC polarity. [1] 2 more Internal sync modes. External triggering. Zoom facility - if possible in text mode. Vertical calibration. [2] Frequency measurement. {3] (Others.)

[1] I have simple HW built as an idea but yet to prove it... [2] Preliminary HW built but not yet used. Calibration SW and circuit(s) to be built into script as it progresses. [3] I already have a working script but not completely satisfied at it at this point...

I am noing to say much else except that it has already been given a 5 star rating on the above UNIX site...

As it stands this code is entirely Public Domian and you may do with it as you please...

Enjoy something completely different using Bash scripting...

Finally the code defaults to a DEMO mode which requires no HW access at all but everything is still functional...

__Thoroughly__ read the code for more information...

As a circuit is inside the script then it is best viewed in plan text mode.

A SOX 1KHz Sinewave Generator Using A Windows, (TM), Batch File... (Batch)

2013-05-02T17:48:18-07:00

Batch recipe 578516 by Barry Walker (audio, generator, sound, sound_exchange, sox, windows).

32 bit Windows to Windows 7...

This batch file generates a 65536 byte binary file to give 8 seconds of pure sinewave at the earphone/speaker output(s)...

It uses ONLY a default Windows 32 bit installation, to Windows 7, except for the installation of SOX...

Obtain SOX from here:-

http://sox.sourceforge.net/

Notepad was the _main_ editor... ;o)

Hopefully the code section does NOT corrupt the binary part which is 8 bytes in size. If it does then let me know on here and I will post a pointer from where to grab it...

Enjoy...

For MacBook_Pro-Heads Only. Simple LF Audio Oscilloscope Using Standard Text Mode Python.

SimpleScope_OSX.py

Do you remember this upload from myself on 26-06-2011...

http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577771-simple-lf-audio-oscilloscope-using-standard-text-m/?in=user-4177147

Well here is an August 2012 vintage MacBook Pro 13 inch version of it for OSX 10.7.5...

This is proof of concept code for a kids level project I am doing for a MacBook Pro, 13 inch, OSX 10.7.5. A DEMO to show how to display a waveform using standard text mode Python. "pyaudio" must be installed for this to work. Levels are set using the standard audio mixers, (System Preferences -> Sound).

Just whistle a signal of say 300Hz to 3KHz, (normal voice spectrum), using say, the internal mic, and watch a waveform appear inside the X-Y graticule.

Read the code for more information.

This code is GPL2, but, the hardware information is Public Domain.

(I am looking into including Windows and Linux variants too using pyaudio to access the sound system.)

Sound Generator Using WAV file (Python)

2012-06-19T00:41:22-07:00

Python recipe 578168 by FB36 (audio, sound).

This is an example for generating sound using wave files. It is equivalent to:

from winsound import Beep

Beep(freq, duration * 1000)

But of course wave files can also be used to generate any other kinds of sounds.

Random Sound FX Using WAV File (Python)

It generates random sound effects using AM and FM.

For AMIGA-Heads Only. Generating An Audio Signal In Text Mode Python. (Python)

2011-11-30T21:23:20-08:00

Python recipe 577971 by Barry Walker (amiga, audio, demo, e_uae, sound, winuae).

This DEMO is not for the big guns. It is aimed at those who still use a minimum of an ancient classic AMIGA A1200(HD), E-UAE, WinUAE, of which there are still a lot of us about...

No comments about the use of "eval()" as Python Version 1.4.0 does not have "int()" and this is designed to work on all versions of Python available for the above platform. See the code for minimum requirements and much more information.

MANY THANKS to Irmen de Jong for porting early versions of Python to the classic AMIGA to give we lowly users a taste of what was/is to come.

This code will probably make the professionals cough a little, but, boy what fun it is to see how powerful Python can be on an open platform like the AMIGA.

Written in such a way that anyone can understand how it works...

I really don't care how you vote this as it is for those, including professionals, who enjoy messing with AMIGA variants purely for fun and relaxation, and, to......

This is an example of how to use vlc.py . It records an mp3 file from an online audio stream, using the track announcements to write an accompanying cue file.

Sound in the STL (Python)

2011-08-15T09:28:12-07:00

Python recipe 577843 by Russell Foster (audio, game, sound, stl).

I get to use a number of languages and have found Python lacks good sound implementation in it's STL. Sure you can download a module, but many organisations make it difficult to install add ons, and when you hand apps to people you don't want to have to say, first install python, then install x, y, z from these websites. The STL needs to have a module added in that handles sound cross platform. I have noticed people are happy with PyGame. Perhaps adding that to the STL would be good for everybody?
