How to generate a 'WAV' file

(AbstractSound noteSequenceOn: FMSound flute2 from: #(
(e5 0.5 500)
(d5 0.5 300)
(c5 0.5 350)
(d5 0.5 300)
(e5 0.5 500)
(e5 0.5 300)
(e5 1.0 350)
(d5 0.5 400)
(d5 0.5 300)
(d5 1.0 330)
(e5 0.5 400)
(g5 0.5 300)
(g5 1.0 500)
)) storeWAVOnFileNamed: 'maryhadalittlelamb.wav'

And play it with

 (SampledSound fromWaveFileNamed: 'maryhadalittlelamb.wav') play

Class AbstractSound

Adapted from: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2125

AbstractSound is a the superclass which represents sounds. It's abstract, which means that generally you'll be working with one of its subclasses instead of AbstractSound directly.

 AbstractSound new play

just gives an error.

See the first example above how to use it.

The usual way to use these methods is with classes that inherit from AbstractSound, such as on the Squeak wiki: SampledSound http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2125 or FMSound.

TODO:add list of implemented instruments/sounds here

TODO: use a Dictionary object and as illustration a very basic canon
