I read:
I am starting a project in which I hope to use audio to trigger text on a screen. My text consists of simple phrases, and I would like to have the phrases appear, one after another - much like a Powerpoint slideshow, only hitting a drum to advance to the next slide instead of hitting the space bar. There is no video involved, just text phrases.
My question is, could I accomplish this using PD, or is this best pursued using another program? Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks.
I guess this could be easily done using pd, but in many different ways. I guess gem would make some neater text output but just doing a |print| to the console should also do the trick, in any case look at:
for the beats:
bonk
~
env~ snapshot~
maybe you want to check out hip~ and lop~ and bp~ to filter background noises etc...
and for text:
print (for the prototype) gem (esp. text2d, text3d, textoutline) textfile or qlist (to store words)
