SoundTool - Quick little app to help find a good sound

[rollins215]

Here is a little app I threw together to help me find just the right sound. Using the joystick, you can increase and decrease both the tone (AUDC0) and the frequency (AUDF0), and holding the fire button mutes the sound. The "score" at the bottom displays the current tone and frequency numbers.

 

It's nothing special at all but has been a big help to me for another project and thought it might be useful to someone else as well. I imagine this sort of thing has been done before, so my appologies if everyone is swimming in SoundTools. I have included the source, too, in case someone would like to modify it to suit their needs.

Hey Rollins215,

 

It has been done before (http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...amp;hl=tone+toy), but that's ok...I'll have to check yours out too. Having a choice is never a bad thing!

Hey, glad some of you had a need for something like this, too! I figured it had to have been done before, but sometimes stuff like this that hasn't been posted recently isn't known by the newbies like me. Thanks for the link Steve, I think I like the look of your interface better.

There a few other, non-bBasic sound tools to be found:

 

Sound X by Ed Federmyer

Sound Paddles by (I think) Jim Nitchalls and Dennis Caswell

Frame Timed Sound Effects by Eckhard Stolberg

 

I don't think these are on the big list here. You might have to scrounge around your other favourite rom sites for 'em.

 

Sound Paddles is fun, one paddle for the waveform, the other for the pitch. It's like fiddling with a wonky radio. But Frame Timed SFX is my favourite. Sequencing quick changes in waveform and pitch can give some nice effects I'm finding. Very useful for this no-visuals Wumpus Hunt game I'm working on.

Sorry to play thread necromancer, but:

Frame Timed Sound Effects by Eckhard Stolberg

This is a terrific little tool! It doesn't appear to be on this board, so I had to find it on an external site:

Here are instructions on how to use it.
