jSyn in Processing

A BSc student, Unx asked about using audio in Processing, I try to use the jSyn from



by modifying the sample program in this way,

  1. Install the jSyn into your computer;
  2. Copy the jSyn.jar into the lib folder of Processing;
  3. Use this Processing sample audio02.pde to start playing around with.

It can export both to an applet and executable file. It should be more flexible than the Sonia plug-in, which the setRate command can alter the pitch but at the same time it varies the duration too.

Hang Seng Index

Just found this file in the Hang Seng Indexes website. You can just write a simple program to decode it to get the latest Hang Seng Stock Index.

Here is a Flash MX sample that runs only in a local machine.

Here is another Flash MX sample that also sends the stock index to a Pd patch (zipped version) through socket and netreceive commands.

The Flash movie first uses a loadVars to retrieve the file from the remote site at http://www.hsi.com.hk/. It then extracts the Hang Seng Index through a number of string commands. After the index is ready, it sends the number to the Pd patch with an XMLSocket object. A silly step is done to bypass the byte of value zero where Flash MX inserts at every end of send command. The Pd patch just runs a netreceive command on the same machine (localhost) with a port number 8888. You need to be sure that the port 8888 is not blocked by your personal firewall.
