[Tutorial]How to use sound and music in Turing

If you have Turing 4.0.5, you can use Music.PlayFileLoop or Music.PlayFileReturn.

just speakig of music
what music file extensions are supported in Turing
I know mp3, wav, and is that it?

and midi
Check the help file for these things.

mp3 was introduced in 4.0, i looked through the changelog....

my school uses macs, and the latest version they have is OOT 4.0, so i have to look things up to see if i can use them....

Hey,

I was wondering, in regards to the Sound playing thing, if there was any way to include slurs or ties, or change the tempo, since its a little difficult to do some of the things I'd like to without slurs/ties or doubling note values.

No, in the current version of Turing there are no slurs/ties and most other music features. It would improve the music capabilities and allow for more lagless background music - so I hope to see it in future versions too!

There should also be a way to get 2 hands in there, so nice harmony can be made, or even the capability to change instruments, then when I am ahead in comp class as usuall, I can write a symphony. Some times I think I really have no life lol.

Can't you just use a process Shifty

and have two pianos playing at the same time?

Ya, more instruments and higher capabilities would be very nice.

nope, can't just use a process. It simply won't work. It will play the files in between each other, sort of.

Music.SoundOff %stop playing the file

Hi, (first post @ CompSci 8)).

I was wondering where and how you use "Music.SoundOff". I have:

code:

process Theme
Music.PlayFile ("Theme.mp3")
end Theme

%the rest of the code

but I have no idea how to stop the music when the code is finished.

I know the last post was old, but I really need help.

Sry. for double post... I figured it out. It was suppose to be :

Music.PlayFileStop

Can't blame me.. typo. Laughing

...right?

You could have just edited your previous post...

I'm just wondering. Is it possible to make a song fade in/out? Specifically a MIDI. Thanks in advanced.

Tony · **Posted:** Mon Sep 19, 2005 3:06 pm

I don't think that Turing has such capabilities at the moment.
Depending on what you're trying to do, it might be possible to simply hardcode the fade using a 3rd party program such as Sound Forge

Usually, the point of a midi is that it is all computer generated, making editing it quite easy compared to editing wavs, mp3s, etc. Any midi editing program will have a 'volume' feature that you can decrease over time.
