Hey guys!
I'm pretty much a beginner when it comes to PICAXE, as I only used it to make a really simple LED chaser last year in my Systems Electronics class, but I'm trying to make a Laser Harp for this years Systems product. As in, a harp body with the harps strings replaced by lasers and when one of the laser beams is interrupted by your hand, sets off a light-activated relay which will be an input for the PICAXE. Because I don't want to use about 50 logic gates, I thought the PICAXE would be great. I'm going to have 10 inputs, (1 for each Light-Activated Relay {8 in total}, with one note corresponding to each, and two for foot pedals that are going to shift the octave up or down).
I just have 2 questions;
1. Is it possible to store MIDI's on a PICAXE or am I limited to the monophonic ringtone beeps?
and
2. Is there any code that will check all inputs at the same time? Or do I have to stick with "checking" each input individually?
All help will be greatly, GREATLY appreciated.
