PLAY (program)

The PLAY allows you to generate music directly from your computer, turning it into a real musical instrument. The PLAY command uses a specific syntax to describe notes, duration, volume, and other musical parameters.

Musical notes can be specified using the letters A through G, with numbers to indicate the octave, or a number from 1 to 9. The duration of a note can be specified with the letter L. To insert a rest, use the letter P. The octave can be specified with the letter O followed by a number. The tempo of the song can be changed with the T command, while the volume can be changed using the V letter.
