# beatbox challenges
|
|
|
|
Create sounds with variables.
|
|
|
|
## Before we get started
|
|
|
|
Complete the [beatbox](/microbit/lessons/beatbox/activity) activity and your code will look like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
let sound = music.noteFrequency(Note.A);
|
|
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P1, () => {
|
|
for (let i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
|
|
sound = sound + 25
|
|
music.playTone(music.noteFrequency(sound), music.beat(BeatFraction.Sixteenth));
|
|
}
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Challenge 1**
|
|
|
|
Let's include a second sound `on pin pressed` *P2*. To do this, you need to add the same blocks as the banana keyboard activity. However, you must change alter `on pin pressed` from P1 to P2. Additionally, you must *decrease* the frequency of the variable "sound" by 25. Modify your code so that your code looks like this
|
|
|
|
|
|
```blocks
|
|
let sound = music.noteFrequency(Note.A);
|
|
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P1, () => {
|
|
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
|
|
sound = sound + 25
|
|
music.playTone(music.noteFrequency(sound), music.beat(BeatFraction.Sixteenth));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
})
|
|
input.onPinPressed(TouchPin.P2, () => {
|
|
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
|
|
sound = sound - 25
|
|
music.playTone(music.noteFrequency(sound), music.beat(BeatFraction.Sixteenth));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* click *run* to see if the code works as expected.
|
|
|
|
**Challenge 2**
|
|
|
|
Finally, we want images to be displayed with sounds `on pin pressed`. Add `show LEDs` blocks under `on pin pressed` P1 and P2.
