Sound Effects
|
This article or section documents something not included in the current version of Scratch (3.0). It is only useful from a historical perspective. |
Scratch 1.4 had a range of sound effects for use; these included everyday sounds such as a telephone ring, and sounds for other genres, such as a gunshot. These sound effects were not controlled by notes in the same way as instruments; rather, with these instruments, the given note affected the pitch of the sound. Unpitched percussion instruments, such as the woodblock, were also affected this way. A list of theses sound effects can be found here.
