SuperCard Roadster Example 2

Hers's a SuperCard file that plays a tune for you (The Queensland Drovers). If you click on the button showing an instrument you can choose another instrument. If you click Play Random you can hear the endings of 90 tunes. These are taken from
Australian Folk Songs.

You can even write your own tunes into the second scrolling field if you have the patience and understand SuperCard's musical abilities. Make sure you type the notes between the quotation marks in each line of the tune. Use the examples below to start with then make up your own. (The numbers stand for semitones with middle C = 60, the letters represent the note duration e = eighth q = quarter w = whole etc) Try changing the tempo as well.



Here are some more tunes for you to experiment with. Print this page and type them into the field above to try them out
