Now that I got playSound figured out, I am pleased to announce my new project. I am adding a sampler (technically a ROMpler...) see http://en.wikipedia....cal_instrument) I have wanted to add some kind of synthesizer to the game for a while now, and this is step #1!

Any other audio/synthesizer/electronic music fans interested?

I want to make an item that will spawn a set of blocks to play sounds or notes. I plan to make the spawner item look like an Akai MPC

Lets talk.

I also want to experiment with the pitch and volume settings, and perhaps make a Minecraft "guitar amp" that could add volume, etc.

I am also working on a drum set. That will be easy. I will find the closest sounds in game for a "Snare" "Kick" "Hi-Hat" "Cymbal" "Toms" etc. Then hit certain blocks with a stick. Ba-dum-bum-Chinggggg! Drums!

I realize many percussive sounds in-game are "randomized" and will not always sound the same. I guess this will add an "analog feel" hahaha.

EDIT: I just realized modTick() could be used like an audio sequencer! You could set a script to play certain sounds in a certain, timed order. Like a Minecraft "prepared instrument" or "music concrete" ... does anyone know if Brian Eno plays Minecraft ?

sounds nice. I approve!

Thanks!

Awesome. I wanted to see a music block ever since playSound support came out.

Yeah, I hope more people try this sort of thing.
EDIT: This will now be a Sequencer/Sampler. With modTick() .

i trying to make a script that adds sound but im failing so bad

Adds sound? Hmm I don't know if that's technically possible. I am just using sounds already in the game. You can change volume and pitch, so there should be some room to experiment. Let me know how you do! Good luck goldenquick!

i tried doing this

function useItem(x,y,z,itemId,blockId,side){
if(itemId==280){
Level.playSound(x,y,z, "crunch.food", 100, 15)
}
}

blocklauncher supports sound i guess look at this

Level.playSound (x, y, z, "sound.name", volume, pitch)

I GOT IT!!!!!!!!

try this script when you tap anywhere with a stick it plays a fire sound!!

function useItem(x,y,z,itemId,blockId,side){
if(itemId==280){
Level.playSound(x, y, z, "fire.fire", 1000, 15)
}
}

try this one. it makes a burp sound when you tap anywhere with a stick.

function useItem(x,y,z,itemId,blockId,side){
if(itemId==280){
Level.playSound(x, y, z, "random.burp", 1000, 15)
}
}

Nice work! I think this could be a fun mod. I hope more people start experimenting!

thanx
