Processing sound lib problems

The Minim as well as the Ess library, how great they might be, both produce really strange glitchy sounds that aren’t part of the waveforms. Currently thinking of switching to Pure Data for the synthesizer.

In other news, I’ve checked out gesture recognition with wiimotes. There’s a java library that focuses on this, WiiGee, but it doesn’t support multiple wiimotes — edit: it does. So I’m checking out Hidden markov models and their use in gesture recognition. Since this is computer science stuff it’s a bit over my head…

I’ll keep you posted! The waveshaping synth prototype should be finished soon.

    I’d be interested to see the sketches that are causing your glitches. It might just be that you are trying to use buffers that are too small.

    Yeah, I thought so too, but it gives the same strange sounds with every included demo sketch I try too, no matter which buffersize. I’ve read some stuff about people with macbook pro’s having strange problems, maybe it’s that?
