1.1 ! root 1: : Example TONE (.TON) file ! 2: All lines starting with non-alphanumeric characters are ignored. ! 3: ! 4: : We're going to set the timer count value (in milliseconds). The first word ! 5: of the line must begin with a 'T' (not case sensitive). Following the 'T' ! 6: word (or letter) must be some amount of white space (tabs or space) then ! 7: a number to use for the timer count value. The default timer count value ! 8: is 1 millisecond. ! 9: ! 10: Time 200 ! 11: ! 12: : The colons you see at the beginning of the comment paragraphs are not ! 13: necessary. They are only used to visually separate comments from tone ! 14: command lines. A space, tab, or any other non-alphanumeric character would ! 15: work just as well. ! 16: ! 17: : Now we're going to display some text on the monitor using the 'V' (visual) ! 18: command. The first word of the line must begin with a 'V' (not case ! 19: sensitive). Some amount of white space must follow the 'V' word (or letter) ! 20: then text to be displayed to the user. If you do not wish a new line to be ! 21: automatically displayed, append a backslash (\) to the end of the line. ! 22: ! 23: Visual This is the beginning of our example TONE file. ! 24: Visual This text will be displayed on the same line as \ ! 25: Visual this text. ! 26: ! 27: : Now we're going to play some tones. Tones may be specified by note letter ! 28: (and optional octave number) or exact frequency (in Hz). We'll begin with ! 29: a natural 'a' (440Hz) for 1 second (1000 milliseconds). Tone lines have two ! 30: parameters, the note (or exact frequency) and duration (in time counts). ! 31: Since our time counter value is now 200, we will need a time count of 5 to ! 32: produce a 1 second duration (5 counts multiplied by 200 milliseconds equals ! 33: 1 second.) ! 34: ! 35: a 5 ! 36: ! 37: : The note is still playing right now and will continue to play until we make ! 38: another tone, give a rest command, or give a quit command. ! 39: ! 40: : Notice that we used a lower case 'a'. Note letters ARE case sensitive. Lower ! 41: case notes are naturals and upper case notes are sharps. ! 42: ! 43: : Now we're going to specify the same note by specifying the exact frequency ! 44: (in HZ) of 440, for the same duration. ! 45: ! 46: 440 5 ! 47: ! 48: : There will be no audible change caused by the above command because we were ! 49: already hearing the same frequency. What you will hear is a 2 second 'a', ! 50: unaware that we actually played two 1 second 'a's. ! 51: ! 52: : To stop the note from sounding, we are now going to give a rest command. ! 53: Rest commands can be specified with a word starting with the letter 'R' ! 54: (not case sensitive) or by specifying a frequency of 0. Some amount of ! 55: white space must follow, then a duration (in time counts). The following ! 56: rest command is specifying 1 second of silence. ! 57: ! 58: Rest 5 ! 59: ! 60: : To produce an automatic sound-off or pause between notes, we must specify ! 61: a stacato duration (in milliseconds). This helps the listener to distinguish ! 62: between notes played of the same frequency. If you do not specify a stacato ! 63: duration, the result is legato (smooth transition between notes). ! 64: ! 65: : The stacato command must begin with the 'S' character (not case sensitive) ! 66: followed by white space then the duration (in milliseconds). The default ! 67: duration is 0 (disabled). ! 68: ! 69: Stacato 10 ! 70: ! 71: : To play notes from octaves other than the default octave (4), you can either ! 72: change the current default octave (with the Octave command) or specify the ! 73: octave with the note. To play a low C for 1 second, we will use the ! 74: following command: ! 75: ! 76: c1 5 ! 77: ! 78: : When we don't specify the octave number, the default octave is used. To ! 79: change the default octave number, we can use the following command: ! 80: ! 81: Octave 3 ! 82: ! 83: Visual Now we will play a C major scale (octave 3): ! 84: ! 85: c 2 Comments can follow any command (except Visual) ! 86: d 2 ! 87: e 2 ! 88: f 2 ! 89: g 2 ! 90: a 2 ! 91: b 2 ! 92: ! 93: : To adjust the current default octave, we can use the plus (+) and minus ! 94: (-) symbols: ! 95: ! 96: Octave +1 ! 97: ! 98: Visual Another C major scale (now in octave 4). ! 99: ! 100: c 2 ! 101: d 2 ! 102: e 2 ! 103: f 2 ! 104: g 2 ! 105: a 2 ! 106: b 2 ! 107: ! 108: Visual Rest a little ! 109: ! 110: Rest 5 ! 111: ! 112: : When specifying notes, the sounded frequency is based on a default pitch for ! 113: middle C. The default starts at 523.50Hz but can be adjusted with the Pitch ! 114: command. This is useful for created de-tuning or bend effects. The Pitch ! 115: command can be used to specify a default pitch or adjust the current default ! 116: pitch up (+) or down (-). ! 117: ! 118: Visual Now for a pitch variation example. ! 119: ! 120: : Lower timer count value and disable stacto for a smooth transition between ! 121: pitches ! 122: ! 123: Time 40 ! 124: Stacato 0 ! 125: ! 126: : Starting at a3 and ascend gradually. ! 127: ! 128: a3 1 ! 129: p +.10 ! 130: a3 1 ! 131: p +.10 ! 132: a3 1 ! 133: p +.10 ! 134: a3 1 ! 135: p +.10 ! 136: a3 1 ! 137: p +.10 ! 138: a3 1 ! 139: p +.10 ! 140: a3 1 ! 141: p +.10 ! 142: a3 1 ! 143: p +.10 ! 144: a3 1 ! 145: p +.10 ! 146: a3 1 ! 147: p +.10 ! 148: a3 1 ! 149: p +.10 ! 150: a3 1 ! 151: p +.10 ! 152: a3 1 ! 153: p +.10 ! 154: a3 1 ! 155: p +.10 ! 156: a3 1 ! 157: p +.10 Kind of repetitive, huh?
