Question Audio Playback function

[Commec]

Example music application 

Hi,

I am working on a music application to let users participate in music in an intuitive way.

An artboard has 7 different sounds associated with 7 different components.

Currently, these components can only be activated one after the other. In musical terms, "in a melodic way".

Is there a possibility to activate 2 or more components at the same time, so that 2 or more sounds can be heard at the same time?

In musical terminology: can the components also be activated harmonically?

I don't think you can play back more than one sound simultaneously IIRC. You can play back pre-composed chords, but obviously you cannot prepare all possible combinations (there are 960,799 combinations?) so you may want to do a few to demonstrate the concept.

Hi Kenneth,

Thank you for your answer to my question about playing multiple sounds simultaneously in Adobe XD. I tried your suggestion of using pre-composed chords, but it doesn't work quite the way I want it to.

I created an application to demonstrate my question. This application includes text to clarify the problem. The application aims to allow users to work with music components in an intuitive way, with the application helping to navigate between the music components (or musical notes).

My question is:

• Is there a way to play multiple sounds simultaneously in Adobe XD without using pre-composed chords?

I have attached an XD file with the interactive flowchart application. I hope this helps to clarify my question.

Thank you in advance for your help!

You can't playback more than one audio file simultaneously in XD. 

You can do that with HTML5 Audio object - so if you have basic knowledge of web coding you can create a demo app that does what you are after.

"Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I do not have any knowledge of web coding yet, and I will start learning how to give the audio playback function more sustain. Kind regards, Remco.
