I was able to convert it to MP3 using one of the on-line "YouTube to MP3" converters. The resulting mid-quality file is 36 MBytes, far too large for MMBasic to play unmodified. Message me and I'll send you the MP3 file. Thank you very much, I converted the video to MP3 some time ago. 40 minutes? I remember that the pieces would repeat after about 20 minutes...   NPHighview said   * Listening to the first two songs, I noticed that the span is over an octave. If the main range is from C to C, there are times when a lower B flat is played. Do you think this xylophone would work for the 12 bells?: https://www.ebay.de/itm/235287401611   NPHighview said   Do you envision writing a MIDI interpreter for the Pico? No, I just want to control 12 electromagnets in the correct sequence...   NPHighview said   Or do you need timestamps? 0.00:C5, 0.25:E5, 0.50:{C5,E5,G5} That looks very interesting: a timestamp and the musical note to be played.   twofingers said   For example, with serial parallel-to-serial shift registers such as the 74HC165 or an analog multiplexer such as the CD4051 or ... That should also be possible directly with the port pins of the Picomite.   twofingers said   I think you are more interested in the process than in the finished solution? Not really! If you had a working solution, I would gladly take it. Frank
