Thank you Suzanne,
it's great to see you are exploring the media capabilities of Squeak! And the screenshot you attached below looks very nice :)
I'm forwarding this to the Squeakland Community mailing list, maybe someone here knows if there is documentation for the multi-media tools in Etoys. I know the education team is working on documentation, but I'm not sure if they have started on that part yet.
The sound tile itself is a relatively new addition so its use might not be documented yet. But surely someone here can explain it.

I found the frequency tile of the SOUND category. I asked Hilaire how I could identify the different levels of sounds.
But I found, rapidly, the keyboard of piano and I identified the frequency 880 as a Hertz sound ‘La’ by resonance with the keyboard. Then I tried to see how pupils could play with these frequencies and create rhymes.
I am not a specialist of music or of science computer, only of visual arts and I explore a creative use of the Etoys ( drawing, all sorts of programming, and too the use of the sounds if I can. . .) .
A great number of points of the new Etoys are very well explained to children in the Quick guides, but others, more technical inside the catalog of objects, are mysterious for teachers, like the tools of the Multimedia category.
Three years before N.Manzanos (argentine) explained us how to create new sounds with the sound recorder and how to import sound files with AIFF extension from internet .
In the new catalog, I see new tools (camera, all sorts of players etc) and my question to Hilaire was:
Where I can find information on them?. Are there easy to use for teachers beginning with Etoys? Are there books, pages, somebody to give some explanations?
That was my question.
Thank you if you can answer.
Suzanne
Excuse my English, I do not practice this language and it is very bad.

Is that a bug report? Could you rephrase?

Concernant les sons à fréquences musicales, j'ai fini par trouver
le
piano dans les catégories d'objets et j'ai pu constater que la fréquence donnée dans la brique 'jouer la fréquence 880', de la catégorie SON correspondait au LA.
Ne te tracasse pas pour moi, sans entrer dans le mode musical, je crois que je vais me débrouiller avec ça.
bonne rencrée et beaucoup de succès
amicalement
Suzanne
