usage

Tonescale provides various sound utilities and capabilities for Python in Linux. It provides a Sound class that can store a sound in a NumPy array, can load the sound from a file, can save the sound to a file, and can play the sound using aplay or by streaming the sound using PyAudio. Sounds can be added, summed and repeated symbolically. Tonescale includes some sounds.

A tonescale module sound can be accessed in the following way:

sound_1 = tonescale.access_sound(name = "199935__drzhnn__04-blip")

Sounds can be repeated:

sound_1.repeat(number = 2)

Sounds can be added:

sound_3 = sound_1 + sound_2

Sounds can be summed:

sound_3 = sum([sound_1, sound_2])

Sounds can be played:

sound_1.play()

Sounds can be played in the background too:

sound_1.play(background = True)

Sounds can also be played in a stream:

sound_1.play_stream()

Sounds can be saved to files:

sound_1.save_WAVE()

Sounds can be loaded from files:

sound_1.read_WAVE(filename = "199935__drzhnn__04-blip.wav")

See example code for more details.

Tonescale also provides sound_search.py, which can search recursively for sound files of a specified minimum duration.
