Drums and piano don't play

[blocks]<play drum( number )for( number )secs>[/blocks]

[blocks]<play note( number )for( number )secs>[/blocks]

They don't do anything anymore! This is frustrating!

Re: Drums and piano don't play

They work fine for me. Have you ensured that other sounds in Scratch work to make sure it's not a problem with something else? If other sounds work, perhaps you've set the note to not last long enough.

Re: Drums and piano don't play

It's likely your SW Synth volume is turned down.

To turn it back up, look for the icon that looks like a speaker in the system tray (the thing with all the tiny icons, on the taskbar). When you find it, double click it, and a bunch of sliders should pop up. Look for the one labeled "SW Synth" and crank it up to max. Now try it again - 99% of the time, this solves it.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
