Volca FM and Bass, controlled by a LaunchPad/Teensy (Arduino) Snake game.

Volcas, Launchpad & Teensy Snake Game Music Generator The main aim is to generate semi-random musical phrases by moving the snake around. Horizontal movement to the left plays a fixed “melody” in Dm which randomly changes each time the green square is eaten by the snake. Moving to the right plays the melody backwards. Vertical movement switches octaves but in ¾ time, hence the generation of a “Larks Tongues In Aspic Part 2” vibe due to 8 vertical grid locations. i.e. ¾ ¾ 2/4 The two Volcas are both set to channel 1 and are receiving the same notes. The snake game and the MIDI notes are controlled by the Teensy 4.1 which is using the Host USB port to drive the Launchpad. The Volcas receive MIDI notes from the Teensy on the tx1 serial port. I’m not trying to get the best score, and wouldn’t be that good at getting it anyway…
