These included squares and triangles. > A square waveform channel could be simulated by playing a square wave sample > while altering its frequency, volume and length.

If so, then the program could generate all the notes in all the octaves, for several different 'instruments'. Once this is done, then I do the sound(pitch,volume,duration,quality). Jerry Story
