LOGO Programming

Making Music with Logo

You can play music in the same way that you make drawings using Logo programs. In order to make it easier to use, I've written a helper program called "player.lgo". You need to load this file before using the commands in this lesson. Your computer needs to have a sound card or MIDI instrument attached in order to use this program.

You can type in notes, and logo will play them in the same order you type them in:

do re mi fa sol fa mi re do

This makes a sound like a piano, but you can also make sounds like different instruments:

banjo high do re mi fa sol fa mi re do

You can make notes that play fast or slow:

eighth do re mi
quarter do re mi
half do re mi
whole do re mi

You can play really low notes or really high notes:

dinosaur do re mi
low do re mi
middle do re mi
high do re mi
