I'm running Ubuntu, with the Gnome desktop. I need a tone generator that will allow me to generate a timed sequence of tones. To be more specific, I need to be able to do something like a one-second 457.9 Hz tone, followed by a three-second 368.5 Hz tone. Is there anything out there that can do what I need?
Tried siggen. Nice little program, but I can't get it to do what I need. Unless I'm missing something, the longest it will generate a tone for is 2 seconds, and I need a 3 second tone. Any ideas?
After playing with Siggen some more, I've determined what my problem is. When trying to generate a sequence of tones, all tones are the same duration as the first. Unless I'm missing something, I can't do a 1-second/3-second sequence like I need.
No, schachwizard, I haven't tried Audicity, but I will.
Audacity worked like a champ! Thanks for the suggestion, schachwizard. I thought Audacity was just a sound player, like Rhythmbox. I'd never even opened it before.
unSpawn, I already had it by the time I saw your post, but I tried "beep" anyway, just for the fun of it. I can't get "beep" to make a sound on my computer. I'm sure I have something configured wrong. It accepts the command, pauses like its performing the task, but no sound comes out of the speakers.
