p5.SoundFile.loop() behaves differently based on duration parameter value

[jeanetteandrews]

I'm not sure if this is the correct repo for this issue since I'm using version 1.11.1 (p5.SoundFile.loop() does not seem to work with version 2.0). Happy to work on this issue if this is the correct repo.

p5.js & p5.sound version

1.11.1

Web browser and version

Chrome 138.0.7204.184

Operating system

Mac OS

Steps to reproduce this

Open my sketch here: https://editor.p5js.org/jeanetteandrews/sketches/tU-3SU3gE
Comment/uncomment duration to test the different cases

Snippet:

let soundFile;

let startTime = 0;
let rate = 1;
let amp = 1;
let cueLoopStart = 14;
let duration;

// CASE 1: cueLoopStart < duration
// loops from 0:14-0:15 (1 second)
duration = 15;

// CASE 2: cueLoopStart + duration > song length (30 seconds)
// loops from 0:14-0:30
// duration = 17;

// CASE 3: cueLoopStart > duration
// starts at 0:14, ends at 0:18, and then plays from 0:00
// duration = 4;

function preload() {
  mySound = loadSound('I_Love_Music.mp3');
}

function setup() {
  let cnv = createCanvas(100, 100);
  cnv.mousePressed(canvasPressed);
  background('pink');
  text('tap to play', 10, 20);
}

function canvasPressed() {
  mySound.loop(startTime, rate, amp, cueLoopStart, duration);
  background('blue');
  text('music is playing', 10, 20);
}

Hi @jeanetteandrews you might be referencing the other library but here is a version working with new p5.sound.js library.

https://editor.p5js.org/thomasjohnmartinez/sketches/ET9Q0hzJS

use this script tag for the most up-to-date version <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/p5.sound@latest/dist/p5.sound.min.js"></script>

I did notice some funky stuff in our loopPoints documentation I'll clean that up. Let me know if that clears things up

Thank you @ogbabydiesal !! I see loopPoints in the source code but can't find it on https://p5js.org/reference/p5.sound/
