how to play drums and set bpm of it?-CodePudding

I have a list:
beats = ['kick','','','','kick','','','','kick','','','','kick,'','','',]

it's 16 beats, one object one beat

then how to do this?

for i in beats:
    if i =='kick':
        # play kick

and how to play it with other speed(bpm)?

CodePudding user response：

I'm assuming you want to know how to set the 'bpm' using your loop. The most simple solution would be to just import pythons time module and use time.sleep(BPM)

import time

beats = ['kick','','','','kick','','','','kick','','','','kick']



for i in beats:
    if i =='kick':
        # play kick

    time.sleep(0.25) #Sleeps half a second

Please note that as long as time.sleep is being executed, no other code in your program can be run. You would have to use threading if you want to play multiple instruments at once.

from time import sleep

beats = ['kick','','','','kick','','','','kick','','','','kick','','','']

bpm = 160

for i in beats:
    if i == 'kick':
        print("kick!")
    sleep(60 / bpm)

You can use the sleep method like this, then set the BPM variable and pass it into sleep like this.
