Close Encounter Tones

I'm interested in programming the BS2 to play the five tones from the movie
Close Encounters. Does someone on the list not tone deaf and can figure out
the tone commands? I assume I can use the FREQOUT command.

If you could hum it, we could play it [noparse]:)[/noparse]. But for only 5 tones, find a
musical friend who can play them on a piano in several different musical
keys (C, G, F, etc). Choose a high, low or medium key that appeals to you,
and write down the names of the notes (the specific keys on the piano).
Match them up to values for FREQOUT on the BS2. I have corresponding values
for the BS1, but not the BS2. I'm sure other list members could provide it
for the BS2.

Hi Paul, the notes are d4 e4 c4 c3 g3
which corresponds to frequencies of approximately:
293hz 329hz 261hz 130hz 196hz
in that order.

Also, I can't remember the tune EXACTLY, but I think that each tone
should be played for the same length of time except the fifth note
which is played for twice as long as the other notes.

the frequencies of given notes. It may be a tedious process, but you may be
able to try different notes that have the same progression as the close
encounters theme phrase below and use those. I've used the above page to
play the "Charge" phrase on a small robot at it's start and freqout with the
appropriate duration for the notes works great.
