The other day I got out my BBC Master Compact [strictly speaking that is a lie: I used Richard Bannister's excellent port of the Horizon BBC emulator with ROM images "sucked" from my Beeb (that reposes in my attic in my house in Scotland):
http://www.bannister.org/software/horizon.htm however, it isn't as satisfying as my own Beeb - I wonder when computer designers will realise that a SHIFT-LOCK is really a very good thing?] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Master and was fiddling around with it, and decided to play some music: 10 FOR A=1 TO 100 20 P=RND(100)*4 30 SOUND 1, -10, P, 5 40 NEXT a sort of cheap version of early Kraftwerk; extremely elegant and economical code! Now, I'm a bit geeky, and I quite like corny old computer generated music in its own funny way: http://www.sidmusic.org/sidplay/mac/ is my latest "poison"! So, I thought, how can one do that with Runtime Revolution? The answer is probably "not without embedding sound files" . . . Hypercard could do this: play Fiddle tempo 200 "59q 64q 64q 59q 64h 64e 66e 67q 66q 64q 64e 62e 59q" as far as I remember this leveraged Quicktime Instruments . . . http://www.cs.sfu.ca/CC/SW/HyperCard/TeachHC/hcsound/hcmusic.html certainly looking up "tempo" in the RR documentation confirmed my suspicions. Any bright ideas gratefully received. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
