Tone Generation

[Joseph Richman]

I haven't come across an option in tasker that makes this possible inherently. But is there a way through either script or plugins that would make it possible to do audio manipulation such as creating tones changing pitches/speed/etc of played items (or tones).

Could be useful for creating customized alerts and such.

I think you're right that Tasker needs a way to generate simple short tones for indicating things (especially because
Play Ringtone is hobbled by the Android bug where it keeps repeating).

If you do plan to implement something like this (or if someone decides to make a plugin to address this) I'd appreciate it if it wasn't too much work to have the following options:

Tone Hertz

Tone Length

Left/Right Balance

Play two tones at once.

An implementation similar to the Vibrate Pattern action might a nice way to do it, that is something like

Hertz: 200,210,200,210

Length(In MS): 1000,2000,1000,2000

Where the corresponding separated Hertz would match tone length, and silences could be added in by just setting a Hertz section to 0
