as you all know there is no way to import audio to makecode arcade so this is a petition, make sure to reply to this.

I get where you’re coming from, but unfortunately this is not going to happen any time soon. If you want a simple coding engine where you can do this, maybe you should try scratch. Hopefully in the future, you might be able to import a short wav sample, but I cannot see anything besides that working on hardware.

This would make moderating games extremely difficult, there is a low chance of this getting added.
Uncompressed audio also takes up a lot of storage space, and compressed audio takes up too much processing power, making it not very compatible with hardware.

Makecode has plenty of hardware limitations so this probably wouldn’t be happening.

Fourier transform anyone? Seriously I’ve been trying to make something out of it for a long time to get makecode to play WAVs but I’m not smart or informed enough to do so. If anyone smart wants to help with that hmu

Every month or so I return to that idea… so far i’ve gotten to “the mods would need to fix it” because the base code of makecode arcade prevents it from being possible! (To my current knowledge)
Sine waves can only have two points, you can only play as many as your console can handle, and there’s a short delay between ending and starting another sine wave that makes it sound horrible.
I’ve tried a fourier transform, but do you know how many sine waves compose human speech? in the hundreds to thousands. If I could theoretically find a way to condense that number, it could be possible… anyone know how to simplify a sound wave?

I’ve been really wanting to import audio into my games. I’ve signed your petition.

I have been working in this free online thing called BeepBox, and it is so much easier to make music there, and that’s worth a sign on the petition for me!

You know if you REALLY wanted to have audio in makecode, you could sign for function-controlled sine waves…

MIDI import would be nice, and wouldn’t require anywhere near as much storage space as audio files.
I’d also love to see the ability to swap between score/stave and a piano roll editor.

We also need this for Makecode CPX because right now custom audio only works for MicroPython, also petition for the EV3 sounds to be less cringey
