B TO MIDDLE C 2 OCTAVES
I have found a program which will play a tune while other programs are
being run.
The program is included on this disc. I was trying to compose a different
tune for the program and decided I needed a music writing program.
It is really so easy for anyone with even a simple idea of BBC BASIC to
understand how it works. But first how to use the program.
The program will produce 2 octaves of tones starting from middle C and
include all naturals and sharps. It will draw a staff and place the notes
correctly onto the staff.
The tune can be played back by pressing P.
The playback is based upon the BASIC command SOUND. It has 4 main
parameters after it. The first is the sound channel. This is set to 1. The
second is the volume. This is set to maximum, ie -15 mainly because the
Electron doesn't allow this parameter to be varied. The third id the
actual tone or note and the forth is the length or duration if each note.
Initially the duration of each note is set to 6 which is OK for three
blind mice but not much use for anything else. The duration of each note
can be altered by pressing /. You then tap the space bar for each note,
holding it down for as long as you want the note to last.
Note I have a bug here. When pressing the SPACE BAR for the first note
press it quickly to keep the duration short otherwise the rest of this
procedure doesn't work properly. Can anyone find out what can be done with
this?
As each note is played its pitch and duration values are printed onto the
screen.
The edited tune can then be played back again by pressing P. If it's fine
then copy the numbers down onto a piece of paper and transfer them to the
music playing program. Otherwise you can re-edit it by pressing / again or
re-compose the whole tune by pressing -
The biggest problem was to find a way to make a typewriter keyboard
effectivly produce musical notes in a logical manner, preferably
chromatically, in the fashion of a piano.
This is the sequence. It is included in the program so don't worry too
much about trying to remember it.
note played A# G# F# D# C# | A# G# F# D# C#
|
key to press 2 3 4 6 7 | S D F H J |
key to press Q W E R T Y U | Z X C V B N M
note played B A G F E D C | B A G F E D C
Here the two octaves are split the higher one being on the top two rows
the lower being on the bottom two.
Think of the notes as flowing from one end down to the other and
remember that the top octave stops at U the bottom stops at M, the sharps
can be remembered by avoiding keys 1 and 5 and A and G
If you do press the wrong key nothing will happen anyway.
When you have composed your symphony, press P to hear it, then either
press - to re-do it or / to edit the duration of each note.
So much for instruction. Now the program itself.
I first wrote this simple program which will play the notes and print out
the relevant numbers to transfer to the second program.
10CLS
20b%=0
30*FX11,0
40REPEAT:a%=INSTR(" AWSDRFTGHUJIKOL;"GET$)
50IF a%=0 d%=0 ELSE d%=5
60IF a%=1 d%=0 ELSE b%=(a%*4)+40
70SOUND1,-15,b%,d%
80PRINTb%
90UNTIL a%=108
The SOUND command has 4 values after it, the first is the channel, the
second is the volume, the third is the pitch, the fourth the duration.
Line 40 is used in the EUG menu program. The GET$ command waits for a key
to be pressed and if that key is one of those listed between the quotes it
will assign a value to a% equal to the numerical position of the letter,
for example if S is pressed a%=4, ; and a%=17, SPACE and a%=1. The items
between the quotes
Line 50 says if a%=0 that is any key other than one of those listed is
pressed then d%=0 so the duration of the sound is 0 so no sound. Any other
value for a% and d%=5 so the sound will last 5 x 0.05 seconds.
Line 60 says if a%=1, d%=0. The easiest way to explain the need for this
is to write line 40 without the initial space and to leafe out line 60
except what comes after ELSE. Provided a% does not equal 0 or 1 d% will
equal 5 and b% will equal a% times 4 then plus 40. As with arithmetic,
sums in brackets are done first.
So if key A is pressed, A is the second item therefore a%=2. 2X4=8 8+40=48
b%=48 and the SOUND command can be executed, playing the note B for 1/4
second.
Line 80 prints b% onto the screen so that it can be copied down.
Line 90 tests for Z being pressed, Z will end the program.
Now that is fine as far as it goes. But wouldn't it be so much nicer if as
well as producing the correct sound and the numbers for the accompaniment
program we could also produce a staff with the notes positioned correctly
Then when someone comes in to find out what all the noise is about they
can be suitably impressed and leave thinking that you might just be the
next Noel Galachger!!
It would be even nicer if this could be done easily. Well it can, the
program is simple to understand and even simpler to use.
First problem, draw the staff.
The keyboard provides 2 characters which will draw horizontal lines; minus
- and underline _ . Either of these might work but then you are left with
the problem of what to use for the musical notes. Using minus o will be on
the centre of the line, fine for E G B D and F not much use for F A C and
E .
We could use MOVE and DRAW.
10 MODE4
20 MOVE 0,1010
30 DRAW 1200,1010
40 MOVE 0,945
50 DRAW 1200,945
60 PRINTTAB(0,0)"O"
70 PRINTTAB(1,1)"O"
This will draw nice lines and the notes are correctly positioned. In
practice the figures would be substituted with variables so that all 5
lines and the notes could be calculated and drawn arithmetically.
The lines are infact graphics characters and the spacing is quite wide.
Another problem is if you want to print out a hard copy to show the rest
of the band you will need to use a graphic screen dump and the resolution
with many printers is not that good.
The other option is to use the keyboard character underline. Here the
notes would need to be defined using VDU23. VDU23 characters can be called
using CHR$ and many printers will allow their character sets to be
redefined so the next number one hit might be printed out using text
printing, fast and sharp.
(I read a quote from Shaken' Stevens once, (remember him?)
"My last hit was a flop!")
