Installation

# first, install manim from conda-forge channel
conda install -c conda-forge manim

# then install polybeat from pypi
pip install polybeat

Usage

# step 1: import module
from polybeat import play

# step 2:
# primary usage
play([3,4,12])

# advanced usage
play(
    rhythms=[3,4,6,12],
    custom_order=[0,1,3,2],
    # colors=[RED,YELLOW,BLUE,GREEN],
    sounds=['kick_drum','open_conga','side_stick','low_bongo'],
    volumes=[0,-2,-6,-4],
    cycle_time=1.8,
    dot_radius=0.16,
    width_range=[2.5,3.5],
    preview=True,
)

custom_order is None by default, which equals to [3,2,1,0] (reverse order) in this case.

colors should be a list of variables supported by manim or hex number strings, e.g. ['#3ec1d3', '#f6f7d7', '#ff9a00', '#ff165d'].

sounds can be paths to custom audio files, or just leave it default.

cycle_time has an effect on speed.

preview means you want the video to auto play or not after rendering.

It's safe to use default parameters when the number of beats is 4 or less
