I wanted something that would play music through a speaker connected to an Arduino without having to build an amplifier. I've tried and tried, and I cannot get a good sounding amplifier to work. So I created a simple program that plays voices by keeping track of when to click a pin for each voice. It plays standard midi (when run through a processing program) fairly well.
I would love suggestions on how to improve the performance of the program. The sample program plays a 6-voice song, Maple Leaf Rag.
Here is where the code is located:
I do not use timers or interrupts. There is a similar program that clicks pins like mine but it uses one timer per voice, so that limits what can play on an Arduino Nano with only 3 timers or an ATTiny with only 2 timers.
Also, I'm not a C++ programmer, so I haven't made it into nice functions suitable for a library. Right now you just include the files in your sketch.
Any comments would be welcome and appreciated.
