And it took four<BR>arguments: pitch, volume, duration, quality. The Atari ST had a special<BR>chip for sound that operated independently of the main chip. It was easy<BR>to make original "music" on the Atari ST.<BR><BR> With DOS32 Euphoria we have "sound()" but with only pitch.<BR> With Win32 Euphoria, with win32lib.ew, we have playSound(), but it plays<BR>a WAV file.<BR><BR> Is there any way with Win32 Euphoria to do what I used to do on the<BR>Atari ST? That is: sound(pitch,volume,duration,quality)<BR><BR> One way might be to have a bunch of WAV files, each representing a<BR>musical note and a specific instrument. They could be named by instrument<BR>and frequency. For example "piano320.wav". Each one would be the<BR>duration of the shortest note in music.<BR><BR>&! nbsp; Where can I gitta holduv these wav files?
