Hello,
I can't seem to get this working. Typing VOICES 2 (or any other number)
still only produces sound on SOUND 1,x,x,x. I can't seem to get the
VOICE command to work either; it errors no matter what I write.
HELP VOICE
VOICE <channel>,<string>: assign a named sound algorithm to the voice
channel.
VOICE 2,"WaveSynth"
Sound voice must be in the range 0-32
VOICE 1,"WaveSynth"
Sound voice must be in the range 0-32
VOICE 2,"1"
Sound voice must be in the range 0-32
VOICE 2,2
Type mismatch: string needed
VOICE 0,"WaveSynth"
Channel number must be in the range 1-8
Any ideas? It does the same in BASIC V and BASIC VI.
I don't have a copy of the manual, but I'll take a look at that upload now.
