Start: 10:30

• Found parts needed so that I can have a working finger to experiment with sounds
• Considered some alternative size exciters and different high power amplifiers but determined they would not be as good as the ones we had
• Looked into playing midi sequences
• Found that you can use a program called a midi sequencer to create sequence files
• I loaded a midi file from Final fantasy 7 into the sequenecer and was able to see a list of the midi commands.  I am not sure how you load this to our boards though.
• There are lots of libraries in java that make midi easy.  I haven’t found the ones for c++ yet or anything specific to the board for sending sequences
