Capturing sound waves in Rhino using Grasshopper

Hi,
I heard you guys are helpful.

does anyone know how to do this

im a masters student in London studying architecture, I was wondering how i would go about modeling sound in rhino using grasshopper with firefly or ghowl, i read on a post that someone used firefly but i am a beginner.

I need to find a way to capture sound waves and create drawings
I have done a few small things on gh but need a lot of help like an example.
Please let me know if you can help me

Hi dhien,

Have a look at the Audio Tools within the new Firefly:

http://fireflyexperiments.com/resources/

There is the Frequency Spectrum tool:

The Note to Frequency tool

The Sound Capture tool

The Tone Generator tool

Download the plugin, try the tool with some help from the manual and example files and ask all your questions in the Firefly group.

best,

Arthur

i installed it but its not coming up in grasshopper. They are there in the special folders / components folder. I also tried to put them in the grasshopper plugin components folder.

Are you using Rhino 5.0 64-bit? If so, the components wont work because they rely on the C_Sawapan_media.dll which is only compiled for 32-bit applications. Try using either Rhino 4.0 or Rhino 5.0 32-bit version. We're working on correcting this issue.

Thanks,

Andy
