An initial test makes it look like this program is actually working :)
Load both papertape file and start the progam at location $0200
Type in the notes with the corresponding letters A - F on the keypad; 9 stands for note G.
After the note you can set the upper octave with '7' and halfnotes ('sharp notes') with '5'
The length can be set with 1,2,4,8 as a full, half, quater or eighth note.
To save a note press '3'
The song will continue to play from the first note on.
If you have listened to your song, you can write it down by pressing '+'on the keypad and shuffle through the notes with '3' on the keypad. The song will be shown on the lc display note by note. on the LCD:
| digit | meaning |
|---|---|
| 1 | octave |
| 2 | note |
| 3 | sharp or not |
| 4 | length |
If you want to go on composing the coldstart is at location $021C
To just listen to the tune start at $0300
To do:
- Right now the program uses an unexpanded KIM and can only store 72 notes. Maybe I can set the resticrions to the upper mem and have unlimited space.
- The notes are only shown after you think you are done. I could think of a permanent display while composing.
