Hey yeah I used my student copy too lmaooo

The way matlab processes sound it takes a vector where value represents the magnitude of the sound wave at each 1/8192 of a second (8192Hz being Fs or sampling rate, you can change it but 8192 is the default). As a basic example, the vector representing the sound of a sine wave for x seconds is sin(2*pi*f*time vector) where the time vector is 0:x in steps of 1/Fs.

That way to play notes on top of each other or to generate different timbres, you can just add sine waves! Then using sound() or soundsc() you can play it back. There’s also a random command that generates white noise I think, it might be randn(). That way you can generate percussion sounds in a limited way.

I can send you my code if you want but its probably really hard to read; I did some awful disgusting fudging around b/c since Fs is a whole number you get rounding errors sometimes and I just straight up made it tack on zeroes at the end to make it match up when I added the tracks which is honestly disgusting & I probably should’ve done something with like timecodes or something that preserves relationships on a macro scale. Plus, I used just temperament when equal temperament is probably way easier to work with, so... if you want my code I’ll probably send it along with some other sample codes that might be easier to read.

Some things to keep in mind when messing around are that:

Hope ur ok w/ public response!
