Play
Play[f, {t, tmin, tmax}]
creates an object that plays as a sound whose amplitude is given by f as a function of time t in seconds between 
and 
.
Details and OptionsDetails and Options
- Play returns a Sound object, which displays in StandardForm as a button that can be clicked to play the sound.
- Play treats the variable t as local, effectively using Block.
- Play has attribute HoldAll, and evaluates f only after assigning specific numerical values to t.
- In some cases it may be more efficient to use Evaluate to evaluate f symbolically before specific numerical values are assigned to t.
- 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 8000 how many times per second amplitude samples should be generated - Play[{f1, f2}, {t, tmin, tmax}] produces stereo sound. The left-hand channel is given first.
- Play[{f1, f2, ...}, ...] generates sound output on any number of channels.
