Playing Sfx without music makes no sound #166

Closed DjPoke closed 1 year ago

DjPoke commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I've tried to use cpct_akp_SFXInit() without using cpct_akp_musicInit() and without using cpct_akp_musicPlay(). Unfortunatly, i get no sound.

Also, if i play a music to play sfx instruments, and if the sfx instruments are not already used in the music, there is no sound, because the instruments seems to not be recognised.

Hi @DjPoke,

This is a consequence of Arkos Player not being intuitive. In order to use it properly, you need to carefully read the manual ( https://github.com/lronaldo/cpctelera/blob/master/cpctelera/src/audio/arkosplayer.txt ). For instance, Arkos Player does not indeed play any kind of SFX. Instead, it adds notes to a music that should be playing. As they are musical notes, they must use an instrument of the music being played. Therefore, if you only want SFX, you need to create a void music but with the instruments you like to use for SFX. Then you program a normal loop to reproduce music, even if there is no music, and then you can add notes to the music being played (that is, the SFXs).

As I say, everything is explained in the manual. Please, take the time to carefully read it first if you want to fully control the player.
