I would like access to more musical sounds

I know you can find the right values to make beeps play tune. But I want different instrument

What I want to end up doing is have tasker generate a series of tones in a pleasing voice so that instead of meaningless notification sounds, I can let it auto generate a code out of pentatonic notes to tell me what's going on. 

Maybe sampling? Midi? Oh, a point there, I don't want to have it hooked up to a midi instrument, this is for walking around. Perhaps the midi driver for android you mentioned attached to the MIDI Play command.

One solution to a different sound could be to supply a sample tone at a specific (or designated in the parameters) frequency as a base note, then play it back at a different rate.

I've written a [very clunky] function that takes a list of tones and durations, but it's far from perfect and stumbles as Tasker doesn't run at a consistent speed and duration's not precise.

I use the letters A-Z and 1-9 to set a pitch and duration.

For example H4;J2;H2;I4
Better than nothing! :)

If it helps in the short term, the tone frequencies I use are 2093.04*2^(%note/12) where %note is A-Z=2-27 (don't ask).
