with new program samples:
play MIDI file.txt
synthesizer.txt

[Mr. Kibernetik]

New sections in application documentation will be added:

[Henko]

Will this music thing not slow down Smart Basic? Have you considered to make it an "in app purchase" ? It's quite a package for a musician or composer.

[Mr. Kibernetik]

No, it will not slow down smart BASIC performance.
No, it will not be for extra money, at least for those who already purchased smart BASIC, because music support was initially planned as a part of smart BASIC. Now it's just time to implement it.

[Dutchman]

I think this section is a great addition for people with musical skills.
Personally I lack those skills, so I am not interested but nevertheless I am looking forward to applications.
I am quite interested in sound samples like Bang, Boom, Queerk, Clash etc. or a sound machine in which I can design these 'sounds' (not 'music') myself.
Will you add such facilities, or don't you have planned it yet?
It would make quite a difference with that other Basic

[Mr. Kibernetik]

In next versions MP3 files support is planned.
Also some kind of SOUND command will be implemented, but this functionality still requires investigation.

Actually MIDI support in v3.9 also can give sound effects. Some libraries include lots of sound effects. More, in MIDI implementation each effect can be played in any tone. You will be able to estimate it using default instruments number 123, 125, 127.

[Mr. Kibernetik]

OPTION IMAGE POS NORMAL
set coordinate mode for DRAW IMAGE command: "CENTRAL" - coordinates set image center; "NORMAL" - coordinates set image left corner. Default is NORMAL.

OPTION TEXT POS CENTRAL
OPTION TEXT POS NORMAL
