CNC Tetris theme

Here is a nice video to wind down the day. It’s [neorazz]‘s micRo playing the theme from Tetris. The micRo is a simple CNC kit sold by the team at Lumenlabs. For more servo music, peruse our CNC category.

[Thanks grayson]

    boo, it’s off-key :(
    but still neat

    Some old scanners, I think HP, had a debug mode where they played Beethoven’s ode to joy. It was awesome. :-)

  • Germ says:

    Ugh……

    Good idea but sounds horribly mangled. My ears are bleeding.

    :(

    Not servo music. Stepper motor music.

  • Tim says:

    This is one of my favorite CNC tunes :-) But it sounds like something went horribly wrong in the conversion process. Here is a rendition of the Tetris music with some less flat notes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7KR44oUQbo

    If you google ‘mid2cnc’, there is a script now that will convert polyphonic midi to a list of g-code vectors.

    (Yes, and @vikki: there is a Mario theme!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS8-vVE7iGI)

    Yup, stepper music, not servo. I love stepper tones.

  • Ziggit says:

    Yea, I have to agree, that was totally off key and thus really really hard to listen to

    Korobeiniki > mario

  • GaryC says:

    @MattieShoes, I had a scanner that did that. It also came with a little command line app that worked like QBasic’s play function, so it could play other tunes too :) I wish I could remember what make and model it was :(

  • Chris_C says:

    oh god, oh no…. mercy! enough!! enough of the cnc music this one is *especially* bad…

  • cali says:

    Cool! Keep it up!

  • neorazz says:

    it was a quick rendition just to wear in the machine i didnt ever imagine it would be on hackaday (my lifelong goal this week btw).
    so excuse the roughness or buy a micro and program it to do better =) and if you check you tube the mario test is on there also

  • RicoElectrico says:

    Aaaaaaw!! my ears!

  • cotmm says:

    so it’s kind of a cnc music factory, eh?

  • Pouncer says:

    makes the cats in the alley at night seem melodious.
