Thanks a lot for your quick answer to my previous question.
Now it concerns PLAY
With that command, it is possible to create linear melodies.But Is it possible to ask the computor to read simuntaneously two horizontal instructions at the same time, in other words to play acchords instead of one single note one after the other? Some softwares can do that. How are they written?
Thanks for help!

no, u cant. but get a proggy/lib land you prrobably can

The reason you can't is that the system speaker can only play one pitch at a time. You'll need to delve into the dark arts of midi to play a chord.

Well... in theory... you could use some math, and calculate the pitch of two or more accords added togheter.

Playing a sound that we (humans) would hear as a chord.


But it would prolly take loads of work.



And the math would probably be too slow to perform in realtime to make anything good.
