hello. how do you program it? computer ? a tracker made for it? what is the use for this? does it store the music and play on its own after programed?

cheers

@eldorado303 You can find the details on my website. A computer is used to write and compile the software that is going to run on the chip. Also, a tracker is made, which runs on the computer. Then the compiled code and the tracked music are transferred to the chip, and stored there. So the chip doesn't need to be hooked up to a computer to play the song.

Nice work, but I think the original song, based on which this tuen was written, should be mentioned. It's - Mauro - Bona sera seniorina.

[lftkryo]

@hangebicom Nope, I hadn't heard that song before. However, I agree that the chord progression is quite similar. It's a very common chord progression.

I should modify my alarm circuit to do this. It would be epic.

it would be so ninja to wake up to this every morning

No, that's not what I am saying, honestly I believe that all credits are due to the universe, and nobody can actually take credit for their accomplishments, because your identity doesn't truly exist, it is entirely a fabrication of the imagination, and you are nothing but a representation of time itself, so to answer your questions faithfully, Mozart is a copy cat with no right to make music, and record companies deserve money from artists work after their death.

[gemis94]

@Vodoune What if Mozart happened to have used a rhythm pattern which was first conceived by a caveman banging rocks, which is extremely likely to have actually happened. Would he be just a shameless copycat with no right to make music? Could you answer that question instead of preachin that same old record company propaganda like a troll. Also, do record companies really deserve the money from artist work after his death?

[Vodoune]

It's not just my opinion, who do you think should really be taking credit and money for making this song? The originators of music, and anyone else needs to be able to admit that they are copy cats, obviously those original composers are dead now, but their spirit still remains, and seeing how copy right laws had not existed during the origins of music, they are left completely defenseless as these new-wave musicians are stealing their material, and doing whatever the heck they want with it.

@Vodoune "if you can't come up with something besides a standard chord progression, you really don't deserve to be making music, because people have already done it before, and it is really their intellectual property."

1. That chord progression would trace back an awful goddamn long time. You're calling a lot of artists copiers. 2. Intellectual property doesn't cover "Sort of reminds me of." 3. You are either a good troll or very unwilling to admit being incorrect...

[Vodoune]

You would give me a 0/10? I'm so flattered.

[poopdogtaco]

@Vodoune 0/10 bad troll.

[Vodoune]

Gosh, I can't believe how much hate I am recieving for my posts, if you don't think that what I am saying is a legitimate cause for an argument, then why are you taking me so seriously?

I actually am hoping that people stop making songs, because they don't have the right to, if you can't come up with something besides a standard chord progression, you really don't deserve to be making music, because people have already done it before, and it is really their intellectual property.

@Vodoune You really don't know what you are talking about, do you. Assuming you are refering to copyright neither you nor me are the ones to decide. Even if this was an copyright infringement just stating songs origin wouldn't make it less illegal. Personally I dont think that there is copyright infringement here. Songs sound hardly similar and as said numerous times before there are other songs like it with similar chord progression. Are you wishing that none of them were made?
