I've noticed that some games have a bass and melody line both being played with what seems to be the QB PLAY command. Let me put this another way. Is it possible to have a bass and melody line using only the PLAY command?

Sure, if you know your music.
Code: Select all
Play c4
^ ^
The command Plays note C in eights

Using tone toggling (playing two notes in rapid succession) is how it's usually done with PLAY.

I am not sure what you mean, but just check QB's inline help, it really is pretty thourough. Also, mate, it needs to be in quotes cuz its a string.

It doesn't cover this.
Play "c4"
Plays the note C for 1/4 the length of time that PLAY "C" plays it for.

The only way to do it is through tone toggling. The PC speaker has only one channel. You must learn to program the sound card in order to play both a bass line, and a melody, plus an additional amount of channels(that I coul not tell you because chances are my PC has a different sound card than yours...).
