Making Music with the Circuit Playground

All you'll need is a Circuit Playground Express and a USB cable

If you want to recreate a certain song, it'll be helpful if you're able to read sheet music

Here's a good video on reading sheet music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEI7uYOC...

You can also recreate the song by ear

musescore.com has tons of free scores.

Open MakeCode and create a new project.

Place an on start loop. Inside the on start loop, place a set volume block. Adjust the volume to what ever you'd like

Next, select one of the input options and add it to the workspace. This will be how you'll trigger the song.

First, set the tempo by using the set tempo block.

To make a note, use a play tone... for... block. Change the note and duration.

Keep adding play tone blocks and changing the note and duration until you have a song!

You can speed up this process by going to the javascript tab and copy/pasting!

You can hear what your song sounds like by using the interactive board on the left side of the screen! Just press the input you used

Download your code and follow the instructions given in MakeCode to upload the code to the CPX!

Press your chosen input and listen to your song! If you can't hear it, you may need to up the volume and re-upload your code
