Problem loading instruments while running

[RaulMelinte]

Hi,

I'm just starting with web applications development and i can't find a way to figure out this.

I have 3 instruments at the same time, and I want to choose between all you have available. The way I do this is:

3 input select

    document.querySelector("#instrumento-melody").addEventListener("input", function(){
        melodyInstrument = InstrumentChange(this.value)
    }, false);

    document.querySelector("#instrumentoPrincipal").addEventListener("input", function(){
        mainMetronomInstrument = InstrumentChange(this.value)
    }, false);
    document.querySelector("#instrumentoSecundario").addEventListener("input", function(){
        secundaryMetronomInstrument = InstrumentChange(this.value)
    }, false);

I load all the instruments:

    let instrumento = [];
    let mainMetronomInstrument = null;
    let secundaryMetronomInstrument = null;
    let melodyInstrument = null;
    player.loader.startLoad(audioCtx, "https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofontdata/sound/0000_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file.js", "_tone_0000_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file");
    player.loader.waitLoad(function () {
    instrumento[0] = window["_tone_0000_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file"];
    player.loader.decodeAfterLoading(audioCtx, '_tone_0000_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file');
    mainMetronomInstrument = instrumento[0];
    secundaryMetronomInstrument = instrumento[0]
    melodyInstrument = instrumento[0];
    });

    player.loader.startLoad(audioCtx, "https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofontdata/sound/0010_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file.js", "_tone_0010_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file");
    player.loader.waitLoad(function () {
    instrumento[1] = window["_tone_0010_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file"];});

    player.loader.startLoad(audioCtx, "https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofontdata/sound/0020_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file.js", "_tone_0020_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file");
    player.loader.waitLoad(function () {
    instrumento[2] = window["_tone_0020_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file"];});

    player.loader.startLoad(audioCtx, "https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofontdata/sound/0030_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file.js", "_tone_0030_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file");
    player.loader.waitLoad(function () {
    instrumento[3] = window["_tone_0030_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file"];});
            .
            .
            .
          [...]

And a switch case:

    function InstrumentChange(instrument){
        console.log('cambiando');
        switch(instrument) {
            case "Acoustic Grand Piano":
                return instrumento[0];
            case "Bright Acoustic Piano":  
                return instrumento[1];                  
            case "Electric Grand Piano": 
                return instrumento[2];   
            case "Honky-tonk Piano": 
                return instrumento[3];
            case "Electric Piano 1":  
                return instrumento[4];                  
            case "Electric Piano 2":
      .
      .
      .
     [...]

Doing so works, the problem is that loading 100 instruments when page open is quite slow, I would like to load them only when they are required:

            case "Clarinet":        
                player.loader.startLoad(audioCtx, "https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofontdata/sound/0710_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file.js", "_tone_0710_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file");
                player.loader.waitLoad(function () {
                instrumento[15]= window["_tone_0710_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file"];});
                return instrumento[15];
                break;

This returns me random empty buffer.

            case "Flute":
                player.loader.startLoad(audioCtx, "https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofontdata/sound/0730_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file.js", "_tone_0730_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file");
                player.loader.waitLoad(function () {
                return window["_tone_0730_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file"];});
                break;

And this doesn't work.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you

What doesn't work exactly?

Buffers are empty till you decode audio or play it. See https://github.com/surikov/webaudiofont/wiki/4.2.-decodeAfterLoading

[RaulMelinte]

return window["_tone_0730_FluidR3_GM_sf2_file"];

returns undefined, a bug with return statement maybe?

Paste here link from https://jsbin.com/ that reproduces problem.

There are no bugs. Look to examples at https://github.com/surikov/webaudiofont#code-examples

[surikov]

Open this link https://jsbin.com/muhayizego/edit?html,output

select Harpsichord from first list click Play

It works.

Look to debug messages. Look to the source. Your code is completely wrong. You load audiointo one variable, seek for other one, play third one.

Please look to examples at project page. It is enough to learn a way to use this library.
