Question: On demand file playback with effects

[rhythminbytes]

Hi Peter,

Is it possible to take audio files, process them chunk by chunk, and play the chunks back contiguously through your speakers. I'm thinking about an application like the pads on a sampler/drum machine where you hit a button and the sample just plays with effects, but is chunked so it doesn't totally have to be loaded into memory.

Hi @rhythminbytes!

This is not yet possible with just Pedalboard, as it doesn't support passing live audio I/O to and from Python. You can use pyAudio at the moment - there are a couple incomplete examples in our GitHub issues so far (see #190 (comment) and #288 (comment), for example).

This is something that others have tried to add (see #317) but which isn't quite ready to be merged just yet. If you're willing and interested in contributing, feel free to try implementing the approach in that PR (#317 (comment)).

Thanks Peter!

FYI, #317 was superseded by #363, which will be released with Pedalboard v0.9.12:

• Add buffered playback and recording to AudioStream. #363
