Iron Note Block - theoriginalbit/MoarPeripherals GitHub Wiki

Type: iron_note
ID No.: 3472
Name: MoarPeripherals:blockIronNote

The Iron Note Block is a (turtle-equippable) peripheral block that plays the same sounds as regular Note Blocks - however, while regular versions can only play one instrument at a time (depending on the material of the block placed beneath them), the Iron versions can play any of the five available instruments on demand.

Chords of up to five notes (six in versions prior to 1.3) can be played on each server tick (measured in twentieths of a second), although attempting to exceed a total of five per tenth of a second will trigger a flood-controlling "too many notes" error (aimed at reducing server lag).

An example music playback API / script, "Note", is included with MoarPeripherals.

While a setting for altering the range of the block's played sounds exists in moarperipherals.cfg, at this time it's non-functional.

This MoarPeripherals version of the Iron Note Block is similar to that seen in the MiscPeripherals mod (which is only compatible with older builds of ComputerCraft).

##Functions

##Recipe

##Code Example Plays a basic scale of C via an attached Iron Note Block, using chords consisting of all five instruments.

local ironNote = peripheral.find("iron_note")
local CScale = {6,8,10,11,13,15,17,18}

for pitch = 1, #CScale do
  for instrument = 0, 4 do
    ironNote.playNote(instrument, CScale[pitch])
  end

  sleep(0.5)
end
