Summary

Transcript

It's time to wrap up this chapter. You've learned quite a few new things already. First of all, you know how to use the sample command to play a short sound file. You also know you can browse and choose samples from the drop-down menu. You've learned how to make a drum beat where the sleep values add up to four. You've also made loops with the live_loop command. First write live_loop, then you give the loop a unique name and finally the do and end keywords. There also has to be at least one sleep command inside a live_loop. You know how to make more complex rhythms by using more live_loops. Remember that each live loop needs to have a unique name. You also know how to create comments with the hash sign to make your code more readable and to mute sound while the loop is running. Your beats are already great, but I think you're ready to learn some new tricks to make them even more awesome!
