No. it doesn't matter what kind of motor. It's just the speed that you step it at that matters. You could actually run the same code on most CNC machines and they would play the music.
Yes, I know the frequency stays the same, I was talking about "fine tuning" of the notes on different sized motors and the friction on different kinds of lead screws and slides (even though the motor sound is the most noticeable one). I know these "extra" sounds are independent from the motor step rate. I don't know much about music so I can't tell how note differenciation works according to different frequencies :P
The tuning will still be exactly the same, but the overtones will vary depending on the motors, and other vibrating parts. It will still work, and they'll be the same notes, but it'll sound a little different.
It's like playing the same music a guitar or a piano. You can play the same notes. It'll sound different, but it will still sound fine on both.
It has a nozzle or something that moves in three dimensions. The motors which move the nozzle make a noise with a higher pitch when they move faster. The computer is telling the nozzle to move at speeds calculated to cause each motor to make a certain pitch.
I think this is my new favorite instrument.

I'm confused.. how is it making the music like that? That looks like thoes boards to do drilling and whatnot no?

I suppose it's based on the speed of each axis (faster = higher pitch).
I guess the software have some way to calibrate the notes to different speeds, because all mills and motors are different.

@KillerXtreme88 The stepper moters rotate at different speeds, making different sounds. control the speed = control the sound.
There you go - music...
