SOUND

This command allows you to play a certain frequency, for a certain time and on certain channels. The command has a number of variations. First, you can omit the channel. In this case, the sound will be played on all channels (or on those enabled by the VOICES/CHANNELS command). Then you can omit the duration, in which case the sound will continue to play while the next instruction is executed. Duration is expressed in milliseconds.
