Just testing the system and having a little fun doing it. Amazing what you can do with some stepper motors, a micro computer, a controller, and a little software.

I generated the G code here https://www.ultimatesolver.com/en/midi2gcode Sure makes a crazy toolpath.

The guy I bought my Tormach 1100 from had a routine that would play the theme to Game of Thrones. Never seen the show so can't vouch for the quality, but here's a YouTube video of a Tormach playing the theme.

Before the "music" that was some heavy breathing. pretty clever programming.

Yeah, I have some breathing problems. I'll live for a while longer.

Not really too much to the programming, at least from my perspective. The programmer that did the midi to G code program did a great job.

heading down that path myself, not bad yet....

I remember when holding the calculator upside down to display “shell oil” was considered cool...
