I know dcs already has a media player but I thought, "What the hell..." soI started a project called music maker that allows you to create music using different frequencies and lengths. Although I need to find a way to get the input. WordIntegers would work but it would take too long.I might be able to use a ByteInteger and multiply the input by 256 but it seems a huge jump. I might just use text input and hope they type a number. tell me your thoughts
So I suggest four entries: a one-character text input box for the note name (A-G), a ByteInput for the octave of the note, a three-radio-button set for Normal/Sharp/Flat, and a ByteInput for the length of the note in (sixteenth? eight? quarter?) notes. How does that sound to you?

Brilliant!of course it'll mean a little more work on my part but I'm going for it
Awesome, I can't wait to see some screenshots. Let me know if you need any assistance with the API.
The Hz frequencies of real notes dont match the inputs for playsound, it turns out their SIMPLER!The only bad part is that the scale is reverse.At any rate I might finish this in about 1-2 weeks
I noticed there are about 12 scales between 0-256 and since i hardly doubt someone would use any lower notes im going to use a 1 byte integer for a note.that should cut down song size by 1/4

My phone will only let me type so much, then I get a mem err so I had no choice.Anyway, thanks for the sheet. That cut down a few days trying to compare notes. Oh, how is the data for a media tunes song organized, for compatability reasons?
Yet another doublepost fixed by Kerm:
I figured as smoothly as the project is going I'd add a feature that draws the song as sheet music on the screen. Please dont hound me about the double post ive only stated the problem a billion times

One Q, when MT plays the note() command is it playing the notes sequentially or in a 4-part channel?

It's a quadraphonic player, so it plays all four at once, two in the left channel and two in the right channel. For a single note in both ears, try note(mynote,rest,mynote,rest). 
Dang that sucks...here I was hoping i'd get off easy using the playsound...well, back to the drawing board. Register to Join the Conversation
