Play Phrase - Play a sequence of notes. Reload page to restart example
A musical sequence - a phrase - can be specified as lists (arrays) of the pitch, dynamic, and duration values for each note in the phrase. Phrases are useful for melodies, bass lines, riffs, and so on. Phrases are monophonic in SoundCipher - that is, they play one note at a time. Phrases must be contiguous and so to add a break, or a rest, you can include a silent note - one who's dynamic is set to zero and perhaps use pitch zero for ease of pitch readability too.



The first line makes the soundcipher library availible to your Processing program.
The second line instantiates (creates) a new SoundCipher object for use by the program.
The next three lines define arrays of pitch, dynamic and duration values for each note in the phrase.
The final line takes these data, creates the phrase and plays it back.

Note that phrases can be added to a SCScore object too. Use the addPhrase() method with takes some additional arguments; check the documentation for details.
