[MWForum]Pick Question

[Walter Smith]

Whenever my seventh grade computer lab started to be noisy I would write a
logo program that generated random notes at a random duration ... it never
took more than five minutes before they started to beg me to stop running it
... it did help that I had a 1000 watt amp with some nice two way folded
speakers to run my sound card with ... a true multimedia system. After a
couple of times running the program it only took warnings to keep the noise
down.

  repeat 2222[note random (1 + 127) random (1 + 6)]

If you have a problem hearing anything it might be that you have the
incorrect MIDI output selected ...

"note" is the primitive you are looking for.

repeat 20 [note (69 + random 12) (5 + random 10)]
