Sinclair Spectrum plays Pirates of the Caribbean theme

Here's a short improvisation of "He's a Pirate" from Pirates of the Caribbean being played by my 128K Sinclair ZX Spectrum +. It is the product of a BASIC program which uses the BEEP command.

You could also go into 128k basic and use the PLAY command and enclose the notes you want to play in quotes.

Good suggestion! I'm new to the Spectrum so am still familiarising myself with it.

Nice timing to start learn Spectrum.

Good to see a Speccy 128k still working. Does the heatsink get too hot? I had to mod a fan on mine.

Good to see a Speccy+ still working. Does the heatsink get too hot to touch? Mine used to.

Or just put all the note information after a DATA command at the end, and use the READ command to pull back each value - that way you only need one BEEP!
