[1.46] Sound (different)

Hey,

I had an idea for a sound disk. You could craft it by placing 8 noteblocks around a floppy disk. It would become a "sound card", an un-editable floppy disk. There would be three kinds:

1. Mk 1- Plays one octave of only piano sounds.
2. Mk 2- Plays both octaves of piano sounds.
3. Mk 3- Plays both octaves of ANY noteblock (ie noteblock on sand, noteblock on stone, etc

The Mk2 would be crafted with a Mk1 and 8 noteblocks; the Mk3 would be crafted with 8 noteblocks around a Mk2.

You would be able to write songs with a program that comes with the mod, and save songs to regular floppies.

The LUA functions would be:
-sound.play("side", note)
Note would be replaced with either a letter or a number.
-sound.playSong("file")
File would be replaced with the midi file name.

The side would be the side of the speaker block. The speaker block would be able to play any number of notes at the same time.

Please leave any suggestions.

This actually sounds like a pretty good idea, but surly if a disk contains 8 note blocks then the disk should be able to play 8 notes at a time;

Also what bout mk 1-3 sound cards and a "speaker" block, the speaker block basically being a disk drive with one slot which can play sounds and only takes sound cards.

The MK 1 would be crafted how you suggested and would be able to play 8 cords,
Then MK 2 would be crafted by surrounding the MK 1 in noteblocks, this would play 16 cords
Then the MK 3 would be crafted by surrounding the MK 2 in noteblocks, this would play 32 cords.

This is just an idea, the speaker one is mainly because the disk drive nor the computer has the ability to play sound, so it wouldn't really make "sense" otherwise :D/>/>

A card that can store MIDI files?

Yeah, that's a good point.

That's another idea. Write songs and then save them to a normal floppy to play at other computers.

This Is A Really Good Idea! +1 For this!

iron noteblocks from misc peripherals can play any note a noteblock can, in all the instruments :3

I know there are peripherals out there, I'd just like to see this as an official feature. Also I'm too lazy to mod minecraft :D/>/>. I just play tekkit, but its painful not even having more than 4 goddamn turtle types.
