% Define delta as used in class
delta = 0.00005;

% Define the tempo you wish to use (Number of Quarter notes per minute)
% Note: The time signature for this piece is taken to be 2/4
% Also, create a blank Song array to store the completed song (to be used later)
Tempo = 152;
Song = [];

% Define the length of each Eighth, Quarter, Dotted Quarter, Half, and Tied
% Note (A Tied note consists of 3 Quarter notes)
E = 1/2 * 60/Tempo;
Q = 60/Tempo;
DQ = 1.5 * 60/Tempo;
H = 2 * 60/Tempo;
T = 3/2 * 60/Tempo;

% Define the frequency of each note
% The key of Hail Purdue is D flat
Ef = 311.13;
F = 349.23;
G = 392.00;
Af = 415.30;
Bf = 466.16;
B = 493.88;
C = 523.25;
Df = 554.36;

% The chorus of "Hail Purdue" consists of four strains. The four strains
% and corresponding notes are set into arrays here:
Strain1 = [Ef, F, G, Af, Bf, C, C, Df, Df, Df, Af, Bf, B, C] ;
Strain2 = [C, C, Bf, Af, Bf, C, C, Bf, F, G, Af, G, F, Bf] ;
Strain3 = [Ef, Ef, F, G, Af, Bf, C, C, C, Df, Df, Af, Bf, C] ;
Strain4 = [F, G, Af, F, Ef, Af, C, Ef, F, C, Bf, Af, Af];

% The associated length of each note is set into 3 different arrays here:
Time1 = [H, Q, Q, DQ, E, Q, Q, Q, E, E, Q, E, E, T] ; % Used for strains 1 and 2
Time2 = [DQ, E, Q, Q, DQ, E, Q, E, E, Q, Q, Q, Q, T];
Time3 = [DQ, E, Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, DQ, E, DQ, E, T];

% Because the song is going to have to be played a total of 3 times,
% putting the playing part in a loop would make the code a lot shorter. We
% can use the counter (j) to tell it to change the things we want to change
% each time as well.

for j = 1:3

   % The second time, the tempo has to increase
   if j == 2
       E = E/2;
       Q = Q/2;
       DQ = DQ/2;
       H = H/2;
       T = T/2;
       Time1 = [H, Q, Q, DQ, E, Q, Q, Q, E, E, Q, E, E, T] ; % Used for strains 1 and 2
       Time2 = [DQ, E, Q, Q, DQ, E, Q, E, E, Q, Q, Q, Q, T];
       Time3 = [DQ, E, Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, DQ, E, DQ, E, T];
   end
   
   % Now make each note a full scale higher for the third run
   if j == 3
       Ef = Ef*2;
       F = F*2;
       G = G*2;
       Af = Af*2;
       Bf = Bf*2;
       B = B*2;
       C = C*2;
       Df = Df*2;
       Strain1 = [Ef, F, G, Af, Bf, C, C, Df, Df, Df, Af, Bf, B, C] ;
       Strain2 = [C, C, Bf, Af, Bf, C, C, Bf, F, G, Af, G, F, Bf] ;   
       Strain3 = [Ef, Ef, F, G, Af, Bf, C, C, C, Df, Df, Af, Bf, C] ;
       Strain4 = [F, G, Af, F, Ef, Af, C, Ef, F, C, Bf, Af, Af];
   end

% For each strain, a loop creates the length of time needed for the note % and then plays it

   for i = 1:14
       time = 0 : delta : Time1(i);
sound(sin(2*pi*Strain1(i)*time), 1/delta) Song = [Song, sin(2*pi*Strain1(i)*time)]; end

% A quarter rest separates each strain

   Rest = ones(Q/delta, 1);
   sound(Rest, 1/delta)
   Song = [Song, Rest];

% Second strain

   for i = 1:14
       time = 0 : delta : Time1(i);
       sound(sin(2*pi*Strain2(i)*time), 1/delta)
       Song = [Song, sin(2*pi*Strain2(i)*time)];
   end

% Quarter Rest

    sound(Rest, 1/delta)
    Song = [Song, Rest];

% Third Strain

   for i = 1:14
       time = 0 : delta : Time2(i);
       sound(sin(2*pi*Strain3(i)*time), 1/delta)
       Song = [Song, sin(2*pi*Strain3(i)*time)];
   end

% Quarter Rest

   sound(Rest, 1/delta)
   Song = [Song, Rest];

% Last Strain

   for i = 1:13
       time = 0 : delta : Time3(i);
       sound(sin(2*pi*Strain4(i)*time), 1/delta)
       Song = [Song, sin(2*pi*Strain4(i)*time)];
   end
   % If it's the second time, recreate the original tempo
   if j == 2
       E = E*2;
       Q = Q*2;
       DQ = DQ*2;
       H = H*2;
       T = T*2;
       Time1 = [H, Q, Q, DQ, E, Q, Q, Q, E, E, Q, E, E, T] ; % Used for strains 1 and 2
       Time2 = [DQ, E, Q, Q, DQ, E, Q, E, E, Q, Q, Q, Q, T]; 
       Time3 = [DQ, E, Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, Q, DQ, E, DQ, E, T];
