It IS saved inside the CURRENT drawer so that you can find it... ;o)</p> <p>This works on:- Classic stock AMIGA A1200, using Python 1.4.0. WinUAE and E-UAE, AmigaOS 3.0.x using Python 1.4.0 to 2.0.1. Windows, to at least 7, using Python 2.0.1 to 3.3.2. Various Linux flavours using Python 2.4.6 to 3.2.2. Apple OSX 10.7.x and above using Python 2.5.6 to 3.4.1.</p> <p>The file size is 8044 bytes and _IF_ you need to it can be palyed directly without a player on some Linux flavours that have the /dev/dsp device. It is an 8 bit, unsigned integer, mono, 8000Hz sampling speed 8000 byte RAW file with the WAVE header added.</p> <p>It will still work with PulseAudio and OSS using...</p> <p>cat /full/path/to/beep.wav &gt; /dev/dsp</p> <p>...but with a momenatry click due to the 44 header bytes; but hey it is a beep alternative...</p> <p>Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems.</p> <p>Bazza.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Bash recipe 578837 by <a href="/recipes/users/4177147/">Barry Walker</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/apple/">apple</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/audio/">audio</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/bash/">bash</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/beep/">beep</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/error_beep/">error_beep</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/error_sound/">error_sound</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/linux/">linux</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/macbook_pro/">macbook_pro</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sound/">sound</a>). </p> <p>This small bash script generates an 8044 byte 1KHz sinewave wave file and immediately plays it. The file created is a _pure_ sinewave and lasts for 1 second. It uses the default "afplay" command to run the generated file.</p> <p>It was designed around an Apple Macbook Pro but using "aplay" it might even work on other *nix flavours from the command line. I have not bothered to try it as this was purely for my MB Pro.</p> <p>The wave file can be found as "/tmp/sinewave.wav" during the working session(s) and can be saved anywhere of your choice.</p> <p>Enjoy...</p> <p>(Watch for word wrapping etc...)</p> <p>Bazza.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>This code generates a horizontal coloured real time bargraph generator anim for a Macbook Pro 13 inch, OSX 10.7.5, using the default standard Terminal only.</p> <p>It is UNTESTED on Linux variants but I would like any successful Linux tryers to make a comment in the comments section and tags will be added accordingly otherwise I will assume it does NOT work on other UNIX like variants.</p> <p>It is a derivative of my 7 bit bargraph generator for Python on this site elsewhere.</p> <p>The Terminal colours WILL be changed on running but it is simple to return it back to its original state.</p> <p>Read the code for more information.</p> <p>Enjoy, (and a Happy New Year)...</p> <p>Bazza, G0LCU...</p>
