- Bell = 0,1,2,3
- Organ = 0,1,2
- Ping = 0,1,2,3
- String = 0,1,2,3
- Trumpet = 0,1,2,3
- Voice = 0,1,2,3
- Piano = 0,1,2,3
- Piano Sustain = 0,1,2,3
- Drums = N/A
- Bass = 0,1,2,3
Depicted below are the octave ranges for all instruments in relation to a piano scale. It should be noted that the octaves ranges for the Ping and Voice instruments are shifted up by one octave (3,4,5,6). You can cover a wider range of octaves (5 in this case) by combining similar sounding instruments together, such as the Piano and Ping or Bell and Voice.
Drum Sounds
It should be noted that the drum instrument does not respond to octave. There are only ten total drum sounds, which are determined by the respective pitch values:
- Snare = 0
- Bass Drum = 1
- Closed High-Hat = 2
- Pedal High-Hat = 3
- Open High-Hat = 4
- Low Tom = 5
- High Tom = 6
- Crash = 7
- Ride = 8
- Handclap = 9
Volume
The volume connection determines the number of blocks a sound generator can be heard from, relative to the player. A value of F is the highest possible volume, while a value of 1 is the lowest possible audible volume. A value of 0 completely mutes the sound generator.
The default volume value is set to F when no wire or component is connected.

- ilo mute la, ona li ken kalama musi. lipu musi pi ijo mute li ni: kalama musi 45 en lipu kalama musi ante.
- soweli mute li monsuta tan kalama. ni la, ona li ken weka e soweli.
- sina pali e ilo pi kalama ike anu kalama lili mute kepeken ilo ante.
- ona li ken kalama (ilo mu "ping" li pona mute) lon lipu lawa anu lipu pali.
- kepeken ilo tenpo la, ona li ken kalama ante lon tenpo ante (sama ilo kalama pi waso pipi).
ken ala pi musi ni
- The 'sustain' sound effect for the Sustained Piano cannot be cancelled or muted prematurely. It will always sustain every note played, regardless if the sound generator is muted after a note is played or a non-sustained note is played right afterwards. This is either a game limitation or simply an unintended issue.
- There is a soft limit for how many instruments can be used at a given time, which is around 5-6. You will know you have reached the limit when you can audibly hear notes being skipped/muted, even though a visual note is played. This phenomenon is especially noticeable with a primary melody or mid-range tracks. Not much is currently known about the specifics; this is only a real concern when working with sound generators on a mass-scale.
History
| 1.23 | Added sound generator. |
| 1.29 | Sound generators now emit small colored notes when sounds are produced.
Improved the piano instrument. Added Piano Sustain and Drum instruments. Sound generators are now able to be mounted on the floor/ceiling. |
| 2.4 | Octave ranges for the Bell, Ping, String, Trumpet, and Voice instruments were all increased by one.
Fixed many invalid sounds for the Bell and Ping instruments. Added the Bass instrument. |
Notes
- As of update 1.29, sound generators emit small visual colored notes when they produce sounds. The color of the note is determined by the respective pitch, while the visual style of note is simply random.
- Update 2.4 made a lot of improvements to the sound generator. Some sounds for certain instruments were adjusted, while others were completely changed (such as the ping instrument). More octaves were added to the majority of instruments, with the organ being the only instrument left untouched. The bass instrument was also added.
- As of update 2.4, there are a total of 439 unique sound generator sounds.
- The wording in the description and chip label may unfortunately be confusing. The term 'note' has multiple meanings in music theory. It properly describes the totality of one continuous sound, including the pitch, octave, tonal quality, and duration. However, it is often used to just describe the frequency, or pitch, of a sound. The term 'tone' is often misused as well, and is often used in place of pitch. The pitch of a note is actually the combined effect of the pitch plus its octave.
- The actual effect on scaring away animals is still unknown. Whether the relative distance of animals to the device or the player has any affect is currently still a mystery. More information will be provided, if it is discovered.
