Lego NXT plays the piano

Lego NXT playing 'silent night' on a keyboard. There is a menu select to choose which song is played and new songs can be added easily. The NXT works out where to move, this is not a pre-defined set of commands it works out where to move depending on the song chosen! Enjoy.

Get three pianos, build two more of those amazing inventions (Wonder what the programming looked like), then have two of them play "left hand" and one play "right hand"

[drybones234]

heres a better idea match peg up with EACH key and program it to hit which one you nedd to hit instead of tap, tap, tap not hearing a rythym so itll be like a real pianoist just having fingers for every key

i want to do a project like this for my self, how exactly does it know where to go next if it isnt hardcoded, is there an algorithm to detect what note is played and where it is relative to the rest of the keys?
