Part 2: Melody

Now you will use a different patch. The only difference will be that a whole melody will be played back rather than a single note.

1. Close the laboratory patch 2-1.pd. Do not worry about saving the patch.

2. Download the archive 2-2.zip, and extract the files included inside it. Open the laboratory patch 2-2.pd in pd. Again, the patch will load the other waveforms included in the archive.

3. Ensure that the patch is not in editing mode and that the ``compute audio'' box in the main pd window is checked.

4. Experiment with applying different volumes to the various components to see what kind of sounds you can produce.

5. Try to find volumes for the components such that the mix sounds more like a clarinet than a guitar. To check your answer, you may listen to this mix.

6. What are some reasons why the result does not sound exactly like it had been played on a clarinet?

7. Close the pd patch.
