public class AudioReader
extends Source

This actor outputs samples from a sound file as doubles in the range [-1.0, 1.0]. If the file has multiple channels of output data, then the separate channels are sent on successive output channels. If the output has more channels than there are channels in the audio file, then nothing will be send on the output channels where there is no corresponding output data.

The fileOrURL parameter should be set to the name of the file or a URL, in any form accepted by FileParameter. The default initial value is $CLASSPATH/ptolemy/actor/lib/javasound/voice.wav, which refers to a file that is found relative to the classpath.

Supported file formats are WAV, AU, and AIFF. The sound file format is determined from the file extension.

When the end of the file is reached, postfire() return false, which in some domains will cause the model to stop executing (e.g. SDF), and in some will prevent further firings of this actor (e.g. DE).

There are security issues involved with accessing files and audio resources in applets. Applets are only allowed access to files specified by a URL and located on the machine from which the applet is loaded. The .java.policy file may be modified to grant applets more privileges.

Note: Requires Java 2 v1.3.0 or later.

Constructor Detail

AudioReader

public AudioReader(CompositeEntity container,
                   java.lang.String name)
            throws NameDuplicationException,
                   IllegalActionException

Construct an actor with the given container and name. In addition to invoking the base class constructors, construct the parameters and initialize them to their default values.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

If the specified attribute is fileOrURL and there is an open file being read, then close that file and open the new one; do nothing if the file name is the same as the previous value of this attribute.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class NamedObj

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that has changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the specified attribute is fileOrURL and the file cannot be opened, or the previously opened file cannot be closed.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws IllegalActionException

Open the sound file specified by the URL for reading.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Initializable

Overrides:

initialize in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is a problem opening the specified URL, or if the file has an unsupported audio format.

postfire

public boolean postfire()
                 throws IllegalActionException

This method causes one audio sample per channel to be read from the specified file. Each sample is converted to a double token, with a maximum range of -1.0 to 1.0. One double token per channel is written to the output port.

Specified by:

postfire in interface Executable

Overrides:

postfire in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Returns:

True if there are samples available from the audio source. False if there are no more samples (end of sound file reached).

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is a problem reading from the specified sound file.

prefire

public boolean prefire()
                throws IllegalActionException

Return false if there is no more data available in the file. Otherwise, return whatever the superclass returns.

Specified by:

prefire in interface Executable

Overrides:

prefire in class Source

Returns:

True, unless the trigger input is connected and has no input.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the superclass throws it.

wrapup

public void wrapup()
            throws IllegalActionException

Free up any system resources involved in the audio reading process and close any open sound files.

Specified by:

wrapup in interface Initializable

Overrides:

wrapup in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is a problem closing the file.

_openReader

protected void _openReader()
                    throws IllegalActionException

Initialize/Reinitialize audio reading. First close any open files. Then read the fileOrURL parameter and open the file specified by this parameter.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If there is a problem initializing the audio reader.
