Hi There, Hope you find this mail in good health.
I am Umang Goswami, a Python developer and student working on a huge
project for automation of music instruments. I am producing the musical
notes using the Beep function of Winsound Module(
https://docs.python.org/3/library/winsound.html) by passing frequency as a
argument to the function.
Now whenever i provide frequency of any note in decimal(for example
277.1826 for C4 note) it shows following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Umang Goswami\Desktop\Umang Goswami\test.py", line 2, in
<module>
winsound.Beep(111.11,111111)
TypeError: integer argument expected, got float
Now I have to round up the frequencies. This is hurting the quality,
accuracy ,authenticity and future of the project. Almost all the notes have
the frequencies in decimal parts. Rounding up means changing semitones and
quatertones thus whole note itself. This problem is technically making my
program useless.
Its my humble request to you all, I beg you, Please tell me how to overcome
this issue. I have consulted many sources both online and offline but I
remained unsatisfied. I can not make audio files of each note because there
are many many notes and so practically making so many files of different
time length wont help.
Please suggest to me the way to resolve this issue or is there any other
module to produce the sound of decimal frequency.
Without knowing what sources you have already looked at, anything anyone
might say might be duplication. However,...
If the builtin hardware sound generator only generates integral
frequencies, you are stuck unless you get an add-in card that is more
flexible. If the Windows interface to the hardware only accepts
integral frequencies, which I suspect might be true, ditto, unless you
get custom software. You could look at pygame and see what its sound
functions do. And search pypi for 'sound generator' or 'frequency
generator'.
