Title: Sound?
Post by: SolusIpse on June 24, 2009, 07:43:51 am
ya, as the topic suggests, I don't know a thing about how to get sound on the ti's.  How do you get a range of sounds with only high/low lines?  Do you just set it high/low at different frequencies and durations?  If so, is there a sound converter of some sort so I can get whatever raw data I need to make in-game music?

Yeah, you just set high and low at different frequencies. Like 440Hz would be "A". For in-game music, it's kind of hard to do this without using the crystal timers built-in to the 83+SE, 84+ and 84+SE, though. A standalone music program would be easier, since you have the whole CPU time to focus on delays and stuff.

doesn't omnicalc allow you do make music?

Omnicalc is for BASIC though. I know for BASIC there's PLAYWAV too, which produce real sounds and execute them from archive, but takes a lot of memory. In any case, in BASIC it can make games very slow, though, because nothing else can be executed for the entire duration of the sound.

another solution is to make each sounds short and put one between every few commands, but then it's like beeping and beeping so it doesn't sound good
