ListPlay

ListPlay[{a₁, a₂, ...}]
creates an object that plays as a sound whose amplitude is given by the sequence of levels a_i.

MORE INFORMATION

ListPlay returns a Sound object, which displays in StandardForm as a button that can be clicked to play the sound.

The following options can be given:

	DisplayFunction	Automatic	function for generating output to display
	PlayRange	All	the range of amplitude levels to include
	SampleDepth	8	how many bits to use to represent each amplitude level
	SampleRate	8192	how many times per second amplitude samples should be generated

ListPlay[{list₁, list₂}] generates stereo sound. The left-hand channel is given first.

ListPlay[{list₁, list₂, ...}] generates sound on any number of channels. If the lists are of different lengths, silence is inserted at the ends of the shorter lists.
