# qiskit.pulse.instructions.Play
<Class id="qiskit.pulse.instructions.Play" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.17/qiskit/pulse/instructions/play.py" signature="Play(pulse, channel, name=None)" modifiers="class">
This instruction is responsible for applying a pulse on a channel.
The pulse specifies the exact time dynamics of the output signal envelope for a limited time. The output is modulated by a phase and frequency which are controlled by separate instructions. The pulse duration must be fixed, and is implicitly given in terms of the cycle time, dt, of the backend.
Create a new pulse instruction.
**Parameters**
* **pulse** (`Pulse`) A pulse waveform description, such as [`Waveform`](qiskit.pulse.library.Waveform "qiskit.pulse.library.Waveform").
* **channel** ([`PulseChannel`](qiskit.pulse.channels#pulsechannel "qiskit.pulse.channels.PulseChannel")) The channel to which the pulse is applied.
* **name** (`Optional`\[`str`]) Name of the instruction for display purposes. Defaults to `pulse.name`.
**Raises**
[**PulseError**](qiskit.pulse.PulseError "qiskit.pulse.PulseError") If pulse is not a Pulse type.
### \_\_init\_\_
<Function id="qiskit.pulse.instructions.Play.__init__" signature="__init__(pulse, channel, name=None)">
Create a new pulse instruction.
**Parameters**
* **pulse** (`Pulse`) A pulse waveform description, such as [`Waveform`](qiskit.pulse.library.Waveform "qiskit.pulse.library.Waveform").
* **channel** ([`PulseChannel`](qiskit.pulse.channels#pulsechannel "qiskit.pulse.channels.PulseChannel")) The channel to which the pulse is applied.
* **name** (`Optional`\[`str`]) Name of the instruction for display purposes. Defaults to `pulse.name`.
**Raises**
[**PulseError**](qiskit.pulse.PulseError "qiskit.pulse.PulseError") If pulse is not a Pulse type.
