Reproducing an C# array of floats

Hi all,

Sorry for the silly question. I'm quite new to ironpython and I've been trying to solve this issue for the last 3 hours.

I'm not able to reproduce this code in IronPython.

float[] sample = new float[8192/sizeof(float)]

I've tried the following but nothing seems to work in my specific case:

System.Array.CreateInstance(float, (8192/4))
clr.Reference[System.Array[float]](8192/4)
System.Array[float]([(8192/4)])

I'm trying to use the SlimDX to capture the microphone input, and pass it to NumPy to do same FFT stuff.

The original C# code is here: http://crsouza.blogspot.com/2009/08/capturing-sound-from-microphone-using.html

And here my modified version

import clr

clr.AddReference('SlimDX')
from SlimDX import *
from System import *

captureDevice = DirectSound.DirectSoundCapture()
waveFormat = Multimedia.WaveFormat()

waveFormat.FormatTag = Multimedia.WaveFormatTag.IeeeFloat # For Int16, change to Pcm
waveFormat.BitsPerSample = 32 # Floats are 32 bits
waveFormat.BlockAlignment = (waveFormat.BitsPerSample/8)
waveFormat.Channels = 1

waveFormat.SamplesPerSecond = 44100
waveFormat.AverageBytesPerSecond = waveFormat.SamplesPerSecond*waveFormat.BlockAlignment*waveFormat.Channels


bufferDescription = DirectSound.CaptureBufferDescription()
bufferDescription.BufferBytes = 8192
bufferDescription.Format = waveFormat
bufferDescription.WaveMapped = False

buffer = DirectSound.CaptureBuffer(captureDevice,bufferDescription)
buffer.Start(True)

#float[] sample = new float[8192/sizeof(float)];
#sample = Array.CreateInstance(float, (8192/4))
#sample = clr.Reference[Array[float]](8192/4)
sample = Array[float]([(8192/4)])

while (True):
    #print sample   
    print buffer.Read(sample, 0, True);   
       

.... which is generating the following error


C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents>ipy sound_capture_test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sound_capture_test.py", line 34, in sound_capture_test.py
TypeError: Read() takes at least 2147483647 arguments (3 given)

       

Any help will be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Daniel

float in Python is actually double in C#.  You probably want:

 

from System import Single

 

System.Array.CreateInstance(Single, …)

 

And so on.

Hi Dino, thanks for the quick reply.

Now I'm using System.Single instead float but the error persists.

For some reason the Read (ref. http://is.gd/4Ngjt) method of SlimDX.DirectSound.CaptureBuffer isn't accepting the array reference properly.

Maybe I should try the Microsoft.DirextX.DirectSound lib, but it's been a little bit difficult to find good references about IronPython+DirectSound (probably by own  fault).

Ahh, read is a generic method and you’re getting type inference from C# but not IronPython.  IronPython 2.6 includes type inference on generic methods so this might just work there, but otherwise I think you can do:

 

print buffer.Read[Single](sample, 0, True)

 

The square brackets are how we specifiy generic type parameters.
