Is it possible to make character speech accompanied by sound?

[p-hop]

A number of RPGs have a little sound that plays when a character's speech box is displaying something. The best example I can think of off the top of my head is Golden Sun. If you watch the video for a few seconds, you'll hear what I'm talking about. It seems like you could set up and algorithm to play [sound] @ [insert number] KHz, changing the pitch for each letter of the alphabet. On top of that, each character has their own "tone." I was wonder if this has ever been done in RPG Maker, or if it's even possible.

It's an excellent way to make players feel more connected to their characters. You can see the character, but being able to hear them as well makes it more immersing, IMO. Short of adding voice acting, this seems to be one of the best ways to associate a sound with your character.

Well, use it if you can, but these sounds annoyed me as hell in the video  :lol:

The first thing that comes to mind is AMS.
But as far as I can tell it's only one sound as the letters are displayed.

From the AMS by Duebalex:
Play an SE as the letter are shown (permanent):

\a[FileName]

File must be in directory Audio\SE
Remember to set that effect OFF when you dont need it anymore using \a[] Leaving the brackets empty, or else the SE will be heard on all window from this point on.

AMS looks like a good start. Maybe I could have it pick from a random set of tiny sound files with a little modding.
