QB64PE v4.0 is now live!!

[a740g]

First bug of V4 ???
example:
Do
    Print ".";
    c = c + 1
    If c Mod 10 = 0 Then Play "a64g64"
Loop
Play volume is not default 50% and not changeable with the Q##  "play" variable.  Tested with 3.14 as a baseline.  V4.0 is much louder 100% and harsh distorted because of it.  Sorry you got to kill the window, didn't leave an escape route.

The volume is still 50% by default. It is just that it uses a square waveform by default just like QB45 did back in the day. Previously, QB64 used a triangle waveform, which has a much softer sound compared to a square waveform. For compatibility, we always reference QB45 as the standard.

You can adjust the volume using the "v" MML command. For example:

Code: (Select All)

PLAY "v20"

Alternatively, you can change the waveform to a triangle with an optional volume ramp like so:

Code: (Select All)

PLAY "@3Q1"

Once set, all subsequent PLAY commands will use the triangle waveform. If you are using multi-voice playback, remember to apply this change for each voice.
