Create a Map that contains the note (as a name) and the frequency instead of having to work with the numbers? Then you can play whatever you want in a simpler way.

i tryed, but in some times, the key are the same, and replace the old

You could have a single array where each "couple" follows the preceding one.

Dim TunesArray(50) As String = Array As String(300,528, 300, 528, 500, 594...1600,704) 'if string is what a Beeper expects..

Or even a list from which you read two values at time.

Why not a 2-dimension array?

 

[LucaMs]

Why not a 2-dimension array?

Why not a map, better thant a bidimensional array?

 

[Erel]

Why Array As String?

Example one:

Sub Process_Globals
   Private Notes As Map
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
If FirstTime Then
       Notes.Initialize
       Notes.Put("PA", Array As Int(300,528))
       Notes.Put("RA", Array As Int(300, 528))
       Notes.Put("BENS", Array As Int(500,594))
       Notes.Put("PRA", Array As Int(500,528))
       Notes.Put("CE", Array As Int(1400,660))
       '...
   End If
   
   Private l As List = Array("PA", "PA", "CE", "BENS")
   For Each note As String In l
       Dim value() As Int = Notes.Get(note)
       Dim b As Beeper
       b.Initialize(value(0), value(1))
       b.Beep
       Sleep(value(0))
       b.Release
   Next

If performance is important then it is better to do it like this:

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   If FirstTime Then
       Notes.Initialize
       Notes.Put("PA", CreateBeeper(300,528))
       Notes.Put("RA", CreateBeeper(300, 528))
       Notes.Put("BENS", CreateBeeper(500,594))
       Notes.Put("PRA", CreateBeeper(500,528))
       Notes.Put("CE", CreateBeeper(1400,660))
       '...
   End If
   
   Private l As List = Array("PA", "PA", "CE", "BENS")
   For Each note As String In l
       Dim value() As Object = Notes.Get(note)
       Dim b As Beeper = value(0)
       Dim duration As Int = value(1)
       b.Beep
       Sleep(duration)
   Next
End Sub

Sub CreateBeeper(Duration As Int, Frequency As Int) As Object()
   Dim b As Beeper
   b.Initialize(Duration, Frequency)
   Return Array(b, Duration)
End Sub

In a real app I would have created a custom type to hold the beeper and the duration.

 

[hatzisn]

Well Lucas, I suppose because two notes (frequencies) can have two different durations and if it is used as a map with frequencies as keys then you will face two problems:
a) The second note inserted will ovewrite the first
b) If you do not use a list to put a one value map in each position you will not know the sequence of the notes

An alternative solution would be to add a key with the value of "noteX" where X is a number and a corresponding value for this key "{frequency}~{duration}".

 

[LucaMs]

Well Lucas, I suppose because two notes (frequencies) can have two different durations and if it is used as a map with frequencies as keys then you will face two problems:

With names as keys:

mapNotes.Put("C2", 66) <-- 66 is the frequence
mapNotes.Put("C#2", 70)
mapNotes.Put("D2", 74)

 

[hatzisn]

With names as keys:
mapNotes.Put("C2", 66) <-- 66 is the frequence
mapNotes.Put("C#2", 70)
mapNotes.Put("D2", 74)

I am sorry Lucas, I misunderstood but at the end we end up in the same result. You have to also think of the duration of the note and the sequence of all the notes which is a one way road to what I wrote in my previous messages (2-dimensional array or list with one value maps or map with "noteX" as key etc).

Surely it is necessary to think also about the duration of the notes (and of the pauses) but what I meant is: memorize the names of the notes and their frequencies in a map.

Once this is done, you should create other structures and routines, of course.

Moreover, we are not talking about a "professional tool" (at least I'm not talking about it), in which you should at least include musical chords.

Sub Process_Globals
   Private mmapNotes As Map ' all available musical notes.

   Type tSongNote(Name As String, Duration As Int)
   Private mlstSong As List ' of type tSongNote.
End Sub

Sub Globals
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   InitNotes(True)
   InitSong
   PlaySong(mlstSong)
End Sub

Sub InitSong
   mlstSong.Initialize
   AddNoteToSong("C4", 200)
   AddNoteToSong("D4", 300)
   AddNoteToSong("E4", 400)
   AddNoteToSong("D4", 300)
   AddNoteToSong("C4", 200)
End Sub

Sub AddNoteToSong(NoteName As String, Duration As Int)
   Dim Note As tSongNote
   Note.Initialize
   Note.Name = NoteName
   Note.Duration = Duration
   mlstSong.Add(Note)
End Sub

Sub PlaySong(Song As List)
   Dim Frq As Int
   Dim Duration As Int
   For Each Note As tSongNote In Song
       Frq = mmapNotes.Get(Note.Name)
       Duration = Note.Duration
       Dim Beep As Beeper
       Beep.Initialize(Duration, Frq)
       Beep.Beep
       Sleep(Duration)
   Next
End Sub

Sub InitNotes(EnglishNotation As Boolean)
   mmapNotes.Initialize
   Dim lstNotes As List
   lstNotes = File.ReadList(File.DirAssets, "MusicalNotes.csv")
   Dim Parts() As String
   Dim Frq As Int
   For Each Note As String In lstNotes
       Parts = Regex.Split(",", Note)
       Frq = Parts(2)
       If EnglishNotation Then
           mmapNotes.Put(Parts(1), Frq)
       Else
           mmapNotes.Put(Parts(0), Frq)
       End If
   Next
   mmapNotes.Put("P", 0) ' Pause
End Sub

[It can be done much better (haste and little interest )]

 

[MODERN TALKING]

So who's the next Alan Walker with this?

 

[LucaMs]

So who's the next Alan Walker with this?

I should first look for who Alan Walker is. Given his name, I would say a sort of Super Mario Bros.

 

[MODERN TALKING]

LOL
