Thanks for your input!
I tried several ways and I liked the "remix -" option the most.

What am I doing: I am programming a 4-voiced random music generator (in
bash) that endlessly plays in the background bc I am fed up with
available music.
Wanna try it: https://github.com/noahsmindfuck/random_music_generator

Is there a way to make the sounds sound like a piano instead of a pure
sine? Or can i actually import/use preexisting curves of existing
instruments (e.g. the 'pluck' that plays a guitar)?
