Usually, it will look something like this: Writing a song code in Moonbase Alpha is actually simpler than it seems. We'll call this the 'standard form' of song coding. This is the standard form for two reasons the first reason is that this particular code lasts for one second. The second being that the pitch is at a middle C on a piano. If you're musically inclined that will make more sense. Here's a diagram of a piano to help demonstrate:Īll of the keys are labeled. Look for the C in the middle of the keyboard. I've also added numbers to each key to indicate what note you'll hit when you enter a certain number. Note: The TTS only plays a note up to number 37, which is a high C. After that, anything higher will just play a change in pitch. Now, let's change the number to 24, making the new code. You'll notice the pitch went down to a B. Here is a list of songs/commands in MoonBase Alpha. You'll notice it goes to a C sharp but not a D. Again, changing it one number only changes the pitch by a half step. If you wanted to hit a D you'd have to go up to 27, not 26. What about the first number? As mentioned before in this 'standard form,' this code is exactly 1 second long. The first number in ANY code indicates the length at which is it played in thousandths of seconds. Since this is 1000, it plays for 1 second. If it were 500, it would be half a second, and so on.

However, if you write a code that doesn't have a pitch indicator as we'll call it, it will play whatever phoneme you put for the indicated duration, but it will sound as if you just put it into the text normally. Tl dr, the first number controls how long the note goes for and the second controls the pitch.

We've all seen people write elaborate songs in Moonbase Alpha. But you'll notice that they can't do it all in one chat message. Instead, they need to stretch it out over several messages.

The chat can only hold 128 characters at the most. This means if you have a code longer than 128 characters, you'll have to break it into separate parts. This also means that you'll need to conserve as much space as possible to get the most characters in per message. All vocals coded within Moonbase Alpha and recorded on. It's a hassle to have to keep going back to wherever you're storing the codes and copying and pasting more messages.

There's a lot of extra space that can be cut down from that. Let's take it part by part to see what we can take out.įirst of all, we have to remember that every code MUST start and end in brackets. But this rule can be omitted when combining codes. This method allows you to take lengthy codes and reduce them by several characters. Now that we all know the basics behind how codes are written, let's look more in depth beyond the standard form.
