How many types of sounds are there in Turing?

I am making a piano game for my class and i got it to work, however i think its kind of plain, so i want to add more sounds so far I have come across 2 types of sound in Turing that doesn't need and files outside of turing;
1. play("c")
2. sound ( 100 , 500 )

They are good because I can make them in any pitch I want (required for a piano) and have a unique sound to them, my question is are there any others like them that don't require any help outside of Turing and is built in?

P.S. the code <play("c")> when I play it as a single note it sounds cut off is there any way to fix that.

Please and Thank you in Advance!

As far as I know, there's no other sound functions in Turing. However, just so you know, I'm pretty sure you can get about 3 octaves, sharps and flats, and sound duration in Turing using Play

Turing doesn't have much in the way of sound. I mean, you can make a song bit by bit, but any other sounds you may want to use would have to be all compiled into a set of files...

Agreed. Turing isn't made for sounds... in fact, it doesn't even play songs that are past a certain length. (4 minutes ir something)

Really? That's pretty funny. I actually hardcoded "To Zanarkand" into Turing once, it sounded pretty neat lol

Like with Music.Play?

yeah, I just had a few long lines of play("...") lol, trying to fork the left hand part didn't work as well as I planned back then though XD
