Get sounds from temporal series, or another sequecial data. Visit us at www.datasounds.org.

Installation

At the command line:

$ git clone http://github.com/DataSounds/DataSounds.git
$ cd DataSounds
$ python setup.py install

Or using pip (program to easily install Python packages), which dinamicaly access the Python Package Index PyPI.

$ pip install DataSounds

Or, with the controled python ecosystem virtualenvwrapper. After install virtualenvwrapper, follow the instructions below:

$ mkvirtualenv DataSounds
$ workon DataSounds
(DataSounds) $ git clone http://github.com/DataSounds/DataSounds.git
(DataSounds) $ cd DataSounds
(DataSounds) $ python setup.py install

Dependencies

Numpy is a necessary packages to use DataSounds.

Numpy can be installed using pip. If you use virtualenvwrapper, this could be done inside your virtual environment. Normally, Numpy is installed as a dependency of DataSounds and should work if it was sucessfully compiled.

Usage

from DataSounds.sounds import get_music, w2Midi
import numpy as np

data = np.random.rand(24)
music = get_music(data)
w2Midi('my_musica_data', music)

w2Midi writes a .midi file inside the current directory. In this case my_music_data.midi will be saved on disk. Enjoy it!

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up DataSounds for local development.

  1. Fork the DataSounds repo on GitHub.

  2. Clone your fork locally:

    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/DataSounds.git
    
  3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:

    $ mkvirtualenv devDS
    $ cd DataSounds/
    $ python setup.py develop
    
  4. Create a branch for local development:

    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    

    Now you can make your changes locally.

  5. When you’re done making changes, check that your changes pass through tests, including testing other Python versions with tox:

    $ python setup.py test
    $ tox
    

    To get the necessary packeges just install it as follows inside yours virtualenv:

    $ pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
    
  6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
    
  7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests.
  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
  3. The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3, and for PyPy. Check https://travis-ci.org/DataSounds/DataSounds/pull_requests and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ python -m unittest tests.test_sounds.py
