Is there an easier way to get a buffer's sampling rate in JS?
Hello,
My way to get a buffer's SR in JS is to have an info~ object related to this buffer in the patcher, give it a scripting name and connect its leftmost output to a pattr object. Then I send a bang to the info~ object from the JS and use the "getvalueof" on the pattr object.
let sr = 44100;
function get_sr() {
let info_object = thispatcher.getnamed("testbuf_info");
let val = info_object.message("bang");
let grabber = thispatcher.getnamed("testbuf_sr");
sr = grabber.getvalueof();
post("Buffer's samplerate is "+sr+" fps\n");
}This gives me what I want but isn't there an easier way to achieve this? Maybe some methods could be added to JS buffer's object in a future update?
I've bumped up the incident count on this very old ticket for accessing samplerate directly from js, which I would like to see in a future update. There is, however, a very tricky way that you can get this implicitly in the other attributes that are available.
function getsamplerate(buf) {
if(buf.length()*buf.framecount() == 0) {
return undefined;
} else {
return Math.floor(buf.framecount() / buf.length()*1000.);
}
}
post("samplerate: " + getsamplerate(buf) + "\n");
Thank you Joshua, this is a nice trick!
