Hi, I would like to play a .wav file continuously throughout an experiment using Builder, PsychoPy3 2020.1.2 (MacOSx 10.13) Unfortunately, the sound file is automatically stopped when a response key is pressed, which I would like to avoid. If I deselect ‘Force end of routine’ or ‘Discard previous’…

[image] One background music during a loop Builder You need to use some tiny code snippets here to do this, as all Builder stimuli are designed to start and stop within a routine, while you want one that will span multiple iterations over a routine. Insert a code componen…

Perfect, thank you! It works like a charm. I am new to PsychoPy and it took me a while to figure out that the code component can be found within the Custom Components in the Builder.

Hi, I am now running into a related problem. When wanting to run this experiment online, I receive the error message ReferenceError: sound is not defined Within the code component I selected ‘both’ and I thought this would take care of translating my code to JS for online use. Is there a steo that…

You are right, if there are both Python and Javascript equivalents of custom code snippets like this, Builder will automatically use the appropriate one, depending on whether you are running locally (Python) or online (Javascript). I’m not a javascript person so can’t really advise too much here, b…

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I still cannot get it to work. I have looked at the .js code when playing short sound snippets within a Builder loop, but I fail to properly translate the begin and end routines from short to continuous sound. The sound should be in the right place. If I use i…

Wow, that seems quite complex. Thank you. I will give it a try.

Hi, I think I managed to solve the issue, and have an online experiment with a continuous sound. The solution is a bit messy, and I got it playing a bit randomly, but it is working. Basically you have to do the following steps. 1) Create a code snippet for the continuous sound 1a) First, in the…

Thanks for this solution! Being guided by your answer, I wanted to share my solution for playing different audio files from an excel sheet, with audio files located in a folder called “audio”, for anyone who had similar problems. This is only for the online experiment. The solution is also very mess…

Hello! I am trying to add backgroynd sound during different routines as a part of a digit span task. I would like to ask where your excel file is placed in the experiment flow and also where the code component is placed in the flow. I am sorry for the oversimplified questions, I am quite new to psy…

Hi There, What is the continuous sound that you are trying to play? If it is a sound changing trial by trial you: Make an excel file with a column header “thisSound” and the path to each sound file in each row underneath. add the excel file in the “conditions” field of the loop around your routin…
