PC Speaker songs!

I apologize in advance for the length of this header. As your all know, a computer has two speakers: the one that you plug in the back and the one ingrained into the motherboard. You can make the one ingrained into the motherboard play a song, which is awesome. The easiest way to do this is through the AutoHotKey program, which you can download online. Then, simply open up Notepad, write the key you want to start the song then::, for example space:: Next line, write SoundBeep, frequency in hertz, duration in milliseconds. return Note: #t:: means press windows key and t, #means windows, wierd, huh? You can grab a piece of sheet music, look up the values online at websites like www.vibrationdata.com/piano.htm, and then simply find a ratio of half notes, quarters, eights, etc that fits the desired tempo, and get programming. To run, save the program, right click, open as, browse for autohotkey, open, then press the key you wrote at the top. An example of one note, (open up notepad, copy paste, open through Autohotkey, press w): w:: SoundBeep, 523, 400 return You just played high C! Heres a song, go ahead and try it out: #t:: SoundBeep, 349, 400 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 392, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 440, 267 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 440, 267 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 392, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 349, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 392, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 440, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 349, 267 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 262, 267 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 349, 400 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 392, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 440, 267 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 440, 267 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 392, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 349, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 392, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 440, 133 Sleep, 33 SoundBeep, 349, 533 Sleep, 33 return If anyone else writes a song, post it in this thread so others can listen to it! |

cool. could this be done as a batch file, too?

Yup! It's a tad more complicated, but more versatile as well. Some of this you may already know, but I want to write this so that anyone can make a beep as a batch file. Write: BEEP (switches) Beep will play a default frequency of 262 hertz, kinda boring. To change this, use these switches: /F=frequency in hertz. For example, BEEP /F262 plays middle C with 262 hertz. /L=length in milliseconds. For example, BEEP /F262 /L500 NOTE: In place of frequency, you can use this switch: /H[-|+|++]n[@|#] H denotes octave, by default the octave of middle C Either -,+, or ++ can be put in afterwards. - denotes one octave below middle C + denotes oen above ++ denotes two above n denotes the note to play @ denotes a flat # denotes a sharp For example: /H++D@= D flat, two octaves above middle C More switches: /K= keep beeping after note ends, removes staccato affect /R= rest, play no sound for time specified by /L You can even put in text to run with your program with these switches: /p' message'= message to be said, for example /p' black' would say black /V= verbose mode, prints text: "beeping at ## Hz for ## milliseconds" /C= clear text printed by /P and /V /N=print a new line, "skip" lines /?= bring up a help screen, show syntax of beep, overrides other switches At the start of the program, you have to put @ECHO OFF, and at the end put ECHO Example: @ECHO OFF BEEP /HE /L500 /P'Mar' /K BEEP /HD /L100 /P'y' /K BEEP /HC /L300 /P' ha' /K BEEP /HD /L300 /P'd' /K BEEP /HE /L300 /P' too' BEEP /HE /L300 /P' much' BEEP /HE /L700 /P' ham,' /N BEEP /HD /L300 /P'too' BEEP /HD /L300 /P' much' BEEP /HD /L700 /P' ham,' /N /K BEEP /HE /L300 /P'too' /K BEEP /HG /L300 /P' much' BEEP /HG /L700 /P' ham,' /N /K BEEP /HE /L500 /P'Mar' /K BEEP /HD /L100 /P'y' /K BEEP /HC /L300 /P' ha' /K BEEP /HD /L300 /P'd' /K BEEP /HE /L300 /P' too' BEEP /HE /L300 /P' much' BEEP /HE /L300 /P' ham,' /N BEEP /HE /L300 /P'at' /K BEEP /HD /L300 /P' this' BEEP /HD /L300 /P' year's' /K BEEP /HE /L300 /P' Thanks' /K BEEP /HD /L300 /P'giv' /K BEEP /HC /L1000 /P'ing.' /N ECHO. |
