Scratch

I was sketching out ideas for my next OS yesterday, and I thought it might be nice to have a music player. I realised that often, pause buttons in Scratch music players often stop the music permanently, because most use imported music. One solution to this would be to fragment the music into shorter clips, but even then, it would take a lot of work to make it precise.

So I decided that using the MIDI sounds ready installed into Scratch would make this process a whole lot easier. I simply took the sheet music of the sample (in this case "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"), and worked it out as you would to play the music regularly. Then, I created two lists - "Note" and "length" to record, you guessed it, the note and the length of the note. Then, I set up another sprite, which acts as a pause/play button, and triggers the variable "pause" when the pause costume is clicked.

I also added some graphic effects because I felt like it.

I will be making an updated version later, which will be more condensed. Feel free to use this or the update in your OS, or simply change the lists to create your own playlists.

And here's the project
