A simple 100ms@440Hz/100ms@880Hz/100ms@1760Hz or something similar could maybe suffice? > I once converted 'Puff the Magic Dragon' to Beep() commands for an Atari > computer from sheet music but it took me 3 days and I no longer have the > file. I was hoping someone has something simple I could extract parts out > of. :-) Rather than converting sheet music I would write a program that reads .mid files, converting one (or possibly combining a few) of the instruments to frequency and duration data. That way I could convert tons of available songs to Beep() commands in very short time. It would keep me prepared for similar exercises in the future too. :-) Kind regards, Ted Lyngmo -- Replace MY_FIRST_NAME in my email address with my first name to send a private email to me.
