bunch of musics and jingles to adapt (for games)

Do you know what is a stylophone ?
It is a miniature analog electronic keyboard musical instrument played with a stylus.


Basically, it is a one chanel only instrument, a miniature piano like you play with only one finger (the stylus).

The point I wanted to focus on is that it is not difficult to adapt all those stylophone note tabs to our oric games productions.
Here are some "score sheets" (examples : MGMT – Kids, Deep Purple – Smoke on the Water, One Republic – I Ain’t Worried, White Stripes – Seven Nation Army):

A few ones :

Hundreds more :

Here is for instance what we can find on internet in Stylophone notation (google search : "stylophone tabs" ):

In order to drag the "stylus" from one note to the other on the Oric, in Basic, one has to play with modification of frequency, using the SOUND command with a loop from frequency A to frequency B, instead of the PLAY command.

Here a correspondance array of notes <--> frequencies on Oric

To your keyboards !!!

Oooh, this is very nice, I will maybe add a very quick parser to my Oric SOUNDTOY project with this in mind, pretty soon ..

Oh yes !!! I knew that someone would have time to do something with it
Go for it boy !

Found here, Reverse Engineering the Stylophone (frequencies and envelopes) :
https://www.waitingforfriday.com/?p=334 ... tely%207Hz.

"Attack Rate
The combination of the diode (D1) and the capacitor (C4) control the ‘attack’ rate of the sound output. When a note is first ‘pressed’ the capacitor (C4) starts charging. This causes the volume level to gradually increase rather than just going from nothing to full volume.

In the ‘treble’ version of the Stylophone C4 is 47nF rather than 100nF which causes a faster attack rate."
I suppose that the corresponding enveloppe is the Enveloppe number 7 for PLAY (#0D for the PSG)
