Dial Phone?

[Stephen Barncard]

One has to come up with the tones alone.

I just fired up Hypercard 2.4.1 in Classic and played with the tones 
for a minute. I think the timing was thrown off by the G4, as it 
would not loop the samples correctly anymore - something in the code 
times out and the tones go 'da-da' instead of 'da' for a single 
number...

Rev has no 'Dial' command, as Hypercard did. In HC, the little 
samples were only a few cycles long and were looped to get the right 
timing.

I have the raw DTMF tones stolen from HC and converted to WAV and 
AIFF - I'll offer them  at http://barncard.com/dial_sounds.zip . The 
zip is 44k in size.

In Rev you might use the PLAY command with the LOOPING option - but 
I've never done this. It might be easier to put the tones into an 
audio editor and cut-paste the tones to the right timing. At that 
point it might be even better to get a good phone patch for an hour 
and record all the samples you need from a real phone!

I'll leave the files up for a few hours.
