Grandfather clock chimes

[Alex4F]

I'd like to use Tasker like a grandfather clock, with a different chime every quarter hour. Right now it just plays the same chime each quarter:

context = time/9am to 9pm/repeat every 15 minutes.
task = media/music play (my specified audio file)​

How do I have tasker play a different mp3 on :15, :30, :45?

I'vde never used Tasker, but can't you do it (whatever you're doing to make it chime) once if the time ends in 00, twice if it ends in 15, etc.

Use random variable and if then else.

Lots of ways. Unsophisticated way-Make four hourly profiles, one for X:00, one for X:15, one for X:30, one for X:45.

More sophisticated, use if to branch based on minutes. Few more details fit you to figure out...

I've been looking up variables and they're a little complicated for a beginner like me. Can one of you give me more detail?

I'm guessing I have to create four tasks?

Task1 activates IF it's :15
Task2 activates IF it's :30
And so forth...
​

I think the correct variable is %TIME...I guess the condition operator is Matches...don't know what to type after this.

Have you seen this example? It has a bit on doing some maths to get X chimes to sound for X hours. You may be able to do something similar with yours.
