Hi all, this is my first post. I have recently switched to LiveCode and still warming up and can not find any explanation how i can generate sounds in LiveCode. I found explanations about playing audio files, but nothing about generating tone of certain frequency. Any help on this? Thanks!

Hi,
You can't do that, apart from the "beep" command.
However, you might use an external (or make one in C++ or a similar language), which can generate sounds at a particular frequency. I have an external that plays MOD files, which was created by Andre, IIRC.
Moreover, this was published on the mailing list recently. Maybe it is something for you:
You can download for free my ABC external player at:

It comes with a LiveCode stack and some ABC tunes samples.
Available only for mac users.
You don't know what ABC is about ?
Then read this article: SunnYabc: Playing ABC tunes with LiveCode:

For technical lovers, the external is written in Flex/Bison.
Kind regards,
Mark

Hi Mark, thanks for the info! I guess I will have to go with externals then.

SunnYmidi might be useful, depending on what you need.

This uses the midi intrument library and allows you to generate notes at standard frequencies.
