Ha no - I don't do Python really.  All the individual synthesis is "Arduino C/C++", some using standard libraries (there is some Mozzi in there), some just using first principles and some using hardware support (such as the two boards using a VS1053).

The MIDI side is developed in MuseScore3 (I prefer notation) then exported to a MIDI file which is played using MidiBar on an old laptop, then the MIDI is distributed around the board.

I did wonder about building a "MIDI conductor" at some point out of a RPi or similar to make it all self-contained, but playing from a laptop is simple enough for now.

You know of course that Liberty Bell March is the theme of Monty Python, and Guido loved that show?

Please tell us you programmed this in Python. 😀
