Anyone interested in a routine that'll let you play standard 8-bit
sounds (eg:IIGS/MAC/etc. sounds) on your IIe or IIc?
A while back a wrote an add-on command to BASIC.SYSTEM (ProDOS)
which will let you do this. I realise there are similar products
available. I have developed this totally from scratch on my own
without any knowlege of these other programs.
The advantage of my system is that you can vary the playback
frequency (tone) of the sound being played, and so could well
play (one note) music with it.
The disadvantage of it is that it requires a 65c02 machine to run.
(A IIc or enhanced IIe).
Playing a sound from disk is as simple as using the command
PLAY soundfile
Playing the sound again from auxiliary (bank 1) memory is by
PLAY
It supports volume (on/off currently), start address, end address,
start offset in file, filtering, file type, play frequency, etc...
