Hi can anyone tell me where I am going wrong here? It appears that the p5 sound library is not being read - hence it doesn’t understand things like loop. However it is linked to in the HTML as a default and Ive not changed that. Ive also loaded a version of it into the folder as a local file and linked to that as well… Im using the online p5 editor. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi thanks for the reply.
I presume you are suggesting to move the loadSound bit into a preload function?
The issues above still remain in that addPhrase and loop functions are undefined.
I am quite new to coding but I can find reference to both of these in the p5 sound js file so it seems that what is happening is the sketch cant find the library…however I may be wrong.
Cheers

- It’s not the methods which are `undefined`, but the variable _drums_ itself!
- You only declare it globally: `let drums;`
- But you had never initialized it anywhere!

Ahh Ok that makes sense.
Ive added drums = new p5.Part(); into the setup and that works fine now.
Thanks for the help 🙂
