@ogbabydiesal I can do this
where these to be added @ogbabydiesal
@kemkartanya lets chat about this here - anyone else want to weigh in? i personally think it would be super cool to have this - we want to make sure that we are only adding things which would be useful to have in a beginner friendly library and we aren't adding features which might be unnecessary. part of the redesign process was to trim the excess - but I feel like I thought of some good reasons to have this but can't remember them now haha
- changed the title
[-]add midi and freq unit conversions[/-][+]add midi, note, and freq unit conversions[/+]on Jul 5, 2025 hi @kemkartanya wondering if you would be willing to work on this? was thinking it would be great to be able to do something like this:
osc = new p5.Oscillator('C#4')or
osc.freq('F3')setting pitch with midi might look like this
osc.freq(midiToFreq(60))and
let coolFrequency = midiToFreq(60)
osc.freq(coolFreqency)with
frequencyToMidiworking in a similar fashion tomidiToFreqthis PR introduces a P5SoundUtils constant that I think would be a good place to put these methods.
@ogbabydiesal I think this casts another vote in favor a p5.Sound namespace, so that calling
midiToFreqfor example can bep5.Sound.midiToFreq()instead ofP5SoundUtils.midiToFreq().Would be curious to hear if @ksen0 or @davepagurek have any thoughts on this?
for reference
freqToMidi()
midiToFreq()
