When you play the guitar one sound starts before another.
With this extension you can make it sound like that.

Update v1.0.1 Mar 11, 2025.

  • Functions now accept lists in their parameters to avoid using more than 3 blocks, since each id and value will be in a list.

  • Another function has been added to set time intervals and an event that is triggered with id and counter.

Interval

Set intervals in milliseconds.

Is this really just a wrapper for a clock timer ?

In essence, yes.

We are getting close to "writing music", but perhaps using a timer will get complicated....Maybe silent sounds of different lengths to go either before or after the note ?

  • actual note frequency
  • actual note length
  • silence note
  • silence length
  • repeat for next actual note

?

or join the actual note and the silence note together ?

Silence tone is interesting, I'll take a look at it.

I left out amplitude (volume)

I've done the silence note on startup thing and it's great, similar to how I implemented it with the timer but better, thanks Tim.

  • I'll look into the Volume Amplitude thing when I get back to the computer.

I have a question, what do you mean by this?

Just when writing more than one note, to move onto the next note using the same approach.

Interested if possible to have all these parameters in one block ...

Tone
 -- frequency (Hz)
 -- duration (ms)
 -- volume (0-100)
[ -- silence (ms) ] - optional ?

One could always make a silence by setting Tone volume to 0
