Coding to The Beat

In this video we’ll review the fitMedia() function and demonstrate how to use it to add sounds to your song.

In this video we’ll demonstrate using setEffect() to apply various effects to tracks in your song.

In this video we demonstrate how to use for loops to create your own drum beats.

This video provides a quick overview of the readInput() function.

In this video we’ll introduce the concept of conditional statements and logical (boolean) expressions. After watching this video, proceed to Conditionals in EarSketch to learn how to implement them in your code alongside readInput()

In this video we demonstrate how to use conditionals in your script. We use readInput() to ask the user a question and then execute different lines of code based on their response. Before watching this video, make sure you’ve watched the videos on readInput() and the Intro to Conditionals (see above).

This video provides an in-depth overview on how to write custom functions, and then demonstrates using them in a script to implement song form.

This video provides another example of using custom functions to implement song form. For an in-depth breakdown on writing custom functions, please view the Writing Custom Functions video (see above).

This video provides an overview on debugging as well as explanation on some common types of errors.

This video walks through a several EarSketch scripts that showcase common errors. We’ll go over how to read error messages in the console, identify where in the code the errors are, and how to fix them.
