Sound Library Reference
Procedures and command families for FreeBASIC's built-in sound library.
Description
The sound library, or sfxlib, provides generated tones, PLAY-string music, sample playback, streaming audio, MIDI control, audio device selection, and capture support. Programs that use these commands link the sound library automatically.
If a program intentionally does not use the sound command surface and needs selected sfxlib command words as normal identifiers, define Fb_No_Sfxlib before those names are parsed.
Generated SoundIf a program intentionally does not use the sound command surface and needs selected sfxlib command words as normal identifiers, define Fb_No_Sfxlib before those names are parsed.
Commands for tones, notes, PLAY strings, generated waveforms, and mix state.
Digital Audio and MIDICommands for loaded samples, music, streams, and MIDI.
Devices and CaptureCommands for selecting output drivers and recording input.
| Generated Sound Beep Digital Audio and MIDIProduces a beep or a short pitched note. Generated Sound CommandsDocuments SOUND, TONE, NOISE, NOTE, REST, PLAY, TEMPO, CHANNEL, OCTAVE, VOICE, VOL, VOLUME, BALANCE, PAN, WAVE, ENVELOPE, and INSTRUMENT. SoundPlays a generated tone. TonePlays a generated tone on a channel. NoisePlays generated noise on a channel. NotePlays a named note. RestWaits for generated-sound playback timing. PlayPlays BASIC PLAY strings. TempoSets or returns the generated-sound tempo. ChannelSets or returns the generated-sound channel. OctaveSets or returns the default note octave. VoiceSets or returns the default instrument. VolSets the master volume. VolumeSets or returns master or channel volume. BalanceSets or returns the master stereo balance. PanSets or returns channel stereo pan. WaveDefines a generated waveform. EnvelopeDefines an ADSR envelope. InstrumentDefines or assigns an instrument. Music Devices and CaptureLoads, plays, loops, pauses, resumes, stops, and queries music assets. SfxLoads and controls short sound effects by id or channel. AudioPlays or loops an audio file through the simple one-stream interface. StreamOpens, plays, seeks, and stops the streaming-audio interface. MidiOpens MIDI output, plays MIDI files, and sends MIDI messages. |
