Sound in Python

Nov 19th, 2005

I did find the Python code snippet on PMIDI module here. It works fine and I have made some interesting sounds with it. Is there way to save this as sound file?

The beauty of the PMIDI module is that you can produce sound, be it music or soundeffects, within your program with a few lines of code. This way you don't have to load a number of wave files (.wav) that are typically between 5k and 250k in size. Here is an example ...
