Tandy Color Computer 3 User Manual

Using the

Sound
and Safe
Not only
is
your
Color
Computer
a
clever creator
of kaleidoscopic
colors, it's
also
a
singularly
sophisticated
singer
of songs.
When
you use a
plug-in Program Pak
cartridge, the cartridge
program
determines
the sounds you
hear. When
you
use
the built-in
Color BASIC language
(by starting-up without
a
cartridge in the
slot),
you
can actually
program the sounds
you
want
to
hear.
Your
Color
Computer is
a
superb
singer, and
you
have
nearly
total
control
over the quality of the
sound your
TV
or monitor produces.
For example,
type:
SOUND
39,20
(ENTER)
The computer
obeys
your
command and
produces a musical note
that lasts 1.2
seconds.
The program
is SOUND
pitch-code, duration.
The pitch-code
is
any number
in
the range 1
to 255
(1
is the
lowest
pitch,
255
the highest), and
duration is
any number
in
the
range
1
to
255.
Duration
sets the time

units
of

Your Color Computer has
quite
a
range of sounds. The following
program lets
you
hear the entire frequency range

1-255)
that

can produce:
