my personal programming library!

Explanation : This is used to emulate single note music (IE-ANSI music).

The array NOTES is the frequencies used to do a SOUND/NOSOUND on the PC
speaker.

The SBNOTES and SBOCTAVES arrays are the hex values of the notes, and
their octaves for any ADLIB compatible card.

Just take which note you want, and input the note AND the octave
into the Adlib port. Here's some sample code to show you how :

End.

That is my own soundblaster unit I use to output.

To play note 'C' at octave 3, do the following :

Play_SB($A0, SBNotes[1]);
Play_SB($B0, SBOctaves[1 + 3 * 12]);

To shut off Adlib output, do this :

Play_SB($83, $FF);
Play_SB($B0, $11);

{   TEST PROGRAM }

Uses DOS,Crt,Music;

VAR I : BYTE;

BEGIN
Init_SB;
Reset_SB;
FOR I := 1 To 8 DO
    BEGIN
    Play_SB($A0, SBNotes[i]);
    Play_SB($B0, SBOctaves[i + 3 * 12]);
    DELAY(500);
    END;
Init_SB;
Reset_SB;
END.
