Re: Why SOUND statement produces loud and clear sound, but FREQOUT - does not?

8 note polyphony with multiple sinewave per single note.
PIC16F88, no extra hardware.

Re: Why SOUND statement produces loud and clear sound, but FREQOUT - does not?

Beep and just notes is easy and very different than music playing. Not compatible between them.

But both are supported by the PBP.

Remeber, you only have a humble PIC with no synth peripheral!...

Re: Why SOUND statement produces loud and clear sound, but FREQOUT - does not?

I'm not aiming to high end music playback.
All I need is loud beeper sounds, just with ability to have exact note frequencies.

Re: Why SOUND statement produces loud and clear sound, but FREQOUT - does not?

With FREQOUT you need good filtering.This removes any harmonics and smoothens the sound, with the consequence of lower audio level. Of course you need to calculate the filter knee, not just throw a...

Re: Has anyone tried AI with PICBASIC

That's a great observation. Specifying 'PicBasic Pro 3' significantly narrows the AI's search space, reducing the risk of it blending in syntax from other similar BASIC languages.You've hit on a...

Re: Why SOUND statement produces loud and clear sound, but FREQOUT - does not?

Here's the code, generated by Claude, which does what I need. While it contains only one active, the idea is clear and code can be modified for wider coverage:

Re: Why SOUND statement produces loud and clear sound, but FREQOUT - does not?

I even tried to connect external amplifier.

Freqout has way too many harmonics, at frequencies close to the original sound, so unfortunately, not usable.

Re: ssd1306 Include Question

Thank you Richard for pointing me to the right direction.
Everything is working now :)

Cheers

Re: Why SOUND statement produces loud and clear sound, but FREQOUT - does not?

The FREQOUT is the way to go.

You did not post the circuit of transistor amplifier. I suppose you did add a good bias to the transistor, right?

The audio output after the good filtering I...

Its all been done before. See original post#12 where process is elaborated from that post

But there is a couple of ways to do the same thing using the same amount of mouse clicks once it is set up.
