Description

Converts PTModule objects into audio Waves, and plays them.

Details

Unfortunately, it was not feasible to create a routine that can directly interpret PTModule objects and play them simultaneously. Instead, the audio first needs to be rendered after which it can be played. This method therefore first calls modToWave and then playWave. Rendering may take some time and requires some balance between speed, quality and accuracy. See the documentation of the modToWave method for the control you have on these aspects.
