When you render your project, FrettyCharts provides the option to also create a MIDI audio file for each chord or scale. Furthermore, if you choose to have a website saved for your project, you can choose to attach a link to each image which will play the audio file in the browser.
To test the MIDI playback, remember that while editing a chord or scale you can always click the playback button on the editor tool-bar, as marked in red below.
To open the MIDI settings, go to the "Project" menu and select "MIDI Settings". The following window will appear:
