My program is designed for kids or beginners who don’t have any musical background in the goal of getting them to know the 7 basic keys in piano with the aid of a metronome. This program is simple to use and should build interest in users because they get to record what they played and replay or download the recordings. Users can follow instructions that are displayed in the program to know exactly how to use this program.
Instructions for use:
1. 4 background metronome options: 40 BPM, 50 BPM, 60 BPM or no BPM at all. Press the button to access each. (The buttons are named BGM, which stands for background metronome)
2. Keys A,S,D,F,G,H,J when pressed, will play piano keys A,B,C,D,E,F,G respectively. The code is written in a way that both capital and lower case keyboard keys will work.
3. Record your performance by hitting the record button, once done, hit the record button again to stop recording.
4. After you are finished recording, you have the option to either play your recording or save it. By pressing the save button, your audio recording file will be downloaded to your computer.
5. Refresh the page to start new recording.
Additional features displayed:
1. The line in the middle shows you the amplitude of the sound. The lines changes color for more fun 🙂
2. The rectangles that pop up when sound is played shows you the frequency of the sound.
* These are made possible by using P5js built in sound functions
Notes to be taken into consideration when grading:
1. This is modified from the final proposal. The reason I decided to change this is because I think this program is more practical for users and also has cool features. (Already talked to the professor about the change)
2. The sounds are downloaded from freesound.org
3. The buttons’ scales are off when sketch is embedded on WordPress. The original file did not have overlapping buttons.
4. When running locally, the program only runs when Firefox is used.
