never-gonna-give-you-up
Because you need to play Rick Astley from your terminal
[[[ IN STEREO WHERE AVAILABLE ]]]
Install
Requires Node.js v4 or newer
$ npm install -g never-gonna-give-you-up
Usage
# turn up your speakers real loud $ rickroll# listen to the sweet, sweet tunes
Notes
-
The sound is synthesized into PCM audio then piped (via Node.js stream) to your speaker, using the below packages. Octavian makes working with actual notes pretty easy.
-
Would like to know the best way to create polyphonic sounds. Unsure if I can use something written for Web Audio API via polyfill, or if I should create several streams, or what.
-
Dumping too much console output while the song is playing can cause errors in mpg123. I am not sure why.
-
Had to fudge the song duration, because it wanted to cut too early. Again, not sure why.
