Music accents

[gerry]

Don't know much about programming yet. Music, I know a bit.
How about these music accents? Got the idea from Dav.

Look for "Opus Magnificus for ipad" on page 11 of this section

I like musical stingers. They are handy to use for testing programs, and also to confirm certain actions in programs where the results aren't obvious - e.g. Saving a file. Also helpful for vision-impaired people.

I will use these. Thanks, gerry.

I recommend Opus Magnificus. It's a good example of how powerful smart Basic can be once you get the hang of it.

Also, have you tried creating chords yet? Here is an example of chords played back-to-back: C Major and D minor

Code: Select all

NOTES SET "46:q(c6e6g6)(d6f6a6)
NOTES PLAY

The q sets duration as quarter notes. The notes inside parentheses play togetheras a chord.
46 is just one of 127 MIDI instruments you can use. You can look it up in the help files under Instruments - it is the Orchestral Harp.

Chords are fun. Also tried Opus. Does some great FX but way beyond my know how.

Nice chords. Are you a professional musician?
