Class SoundPyglet

value: can be a number, string or an array.

If it's a number between 37 and 32767 then a tone will be generated at that frequency in Hz. ----------------------------- It could be a string for a note ('A','Bfl','B','C','Csh'...) - you may want to specify which octave as well ----------------------------- Or a string could represent a filename in the current location, or mediaLocation, or a full path combo ----------------------------- Or by giving an Nx2 numpy array of floats (-1:1) you can specify the sound yourself as a waveform

secs: is only relevant if the value is a note name or

a frequency value

octave: is only relevant if the value is a note name.

Middle octave of a piano is 4. Most computers won't output sounds in the bottom octave (1) and the top octave (8) is generally painful

sampleRate(=44100): only used for sounds using pyglet. Pygame uses one rate for all sounds

sample rate for all sounds (once initialised)

bits(=16): Only 8- and 16-bits supported so far.

Only used for sounds using pyglet. Pygame uses the same sample rate for all sounds (once initialised)

Parameters:

• value, can, be, a, number, string, or, an, array, -

  • If it's a number between 37 and 32767 then a tone will be generated at that frequency in Hz.

  • It could be a string for a note ('A','Bfl','B','C','Csh'...). Then you may want to specify which octave as well

  • Or a string could represent a filename in the current location, or mediaLocation, or a full path combo

  • Or by giving an Nx2 numpy array of floats (-1:1) you can specify the sound yourself as a waveform

• secs, is, only, relevant, if, the, value, is, a, note, name, or - a frequency value
• octave, is, only, relevant, if, the, value, is, a, note, name. - Middle octave of a piano is 4. Most computers won't output sounds in the bottom octave (1) and the top octave (8) is generally painful
• sampleRate(=44100), only, used, for, sounds, using, pyglet., Pygame, uses, one, rate, for, all, sounds - sample rate for all sounds (once initialised)
• bits(=16), Only, 8-, and, 16-bits, supported, so, far. - Only used for sounds using pyglet. Pygame uses the same sample rate for all sounds (once initialised)

Overrides: _SoundBase.__init__

Starts playing the sound on an available channel. If no sound channels are available, it will not play and return None.

This runs off a separate thread i.e. your code won't wait for the sound to finish before continuing. You need to use a psychopy.core.wait() command if you want things to pause. If you call play() whiles something is already playing the sounds will be played over each other.
