Introduction
In this chapter, we'll take a look at how you can work with audio. You'll learn how to play audio files and visualize them. You'll also learn how to make simple instruments, such as a drum computer and a synthesizer. We'll finish the chapter with a recipe on working with effects.
Throughout this chapter, we'll use Minim, the audio library that is included with Processing. But there are some other libraries available to work with audio that might be better for the thing you want to do. Here are some of them:
