Hello,
I have been working on this project to generate a way to read a jpeg version of a piano roll into sound. I have been using the Minim library. Eventually I would like to switch to midi bus but as this is for a course for now I have to stick to minim. I was wonder if something like this has been done. So far I also have come across some problems. These are one using a String array to call my .wav files and secondly my boolean test. My logic was that I could use a test for an intersection and one for a test colour. It seems the if (0) colour test doesn't work. Here is my code :
... I am pretty sure my code is messy and there might be a better way to do this.
//inport minim libary
import ddf.minim.*;
Pianola pianola;
Note[] notes = new Note[63] ;
Minim minim;
