MPS. Command

Music Play through PC-Speaker

Intention

Note-setting command. Did you ever had the idea to compose a melody on your own?

This is the way you can start.

The MPS.-command generates Beep-like Music-Signals, through the PC-Speaker.

Frequency and Duration can be customized using musical symbols.

Its also useful for debugging. and to signal errors and system states

without showing a text.

You have some sort of musical notation to input the sound.

Here is an example:

' Octave 1, Play a note, make a Pause, Play another Note

MPS.O1 A+ P A-

' Octave 4, Play a note, make a Pause, Play another Note, Octave 1

MPS.O4 A+ P A-
