smallbasic
Problem with playing an audio file on android
I have been playing around with PLAY [string], but I run into this: When using the PLAY command for a string, it seems that SmallBASIC omits all pauses of any kind:
Not only does pause (play "Pn") not have any effect at all, but with regards to note length (play "Ln") or the articulation ("MS"/"MN"/"ML") the pauses before the start of each next note are omitted.
Thus play "Ln" or play "MS"/"MN"/"ML" change not only the lengths of the notes, but also the overall speed at which the whole string is played through, because each note just plays immediately after the previous note ends without any delay between them.
I assume that tempo (play "Tn") may also be affected by this, but I don't know much about formal music theory, so i can't say.
I have just found one more issue, also with PLAY [string]: When I try to play the notes in the highest octave (play "O6") the notes don't play the right pitch. In fact, the played pitch DECREASE the higher up the scale in octave 6 I go. - It's not a problem to me since I see no reason I would ever play anything at such a high pitch anyways, but of course it is an issue so I figured I should report it too in this context.
