Purpose

I wanted to see if I could make a Mellotron using pygame that would then work on Linux and Windows.

Prerequisites:

You need to have the pygame library installed: Please see the pygame website for how to install.

Installation

• Download "Mellotron.py" file and the "SourceCodePro-Bold.ttf" files.
• Create a "Mellotron Sound Files" sub folder.
• Add folders that contain 35 sound files to the "Mellotron Sound Files" folder.

Command Line Parameters

• None

Modifiable settings

• You can change "default_volume" from "60" to whatever volume you want to start off with.
• You can also change the "SourceCodePro-Bold.ttf" font for whatever font would prefer.
• Note: pygame can play .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac

Recommendations:

• There are Mellotron sound packs that you can "find". I recommend renaming the files like this (or similar) so that they sort better:
• • G2.wav -> 01-2-G.wav
• • G#2.wav -> 02-2-G#.wav
• • A2.wav -> 03-2-A.wav
• • A#2.wav -> 04-2-A#.wav
• • B2.wav -> 05-2-B.wav
• • C3.wav -> 06-3-C.wav
• • C#3.wav -> 07-3-C#.wav
• • D3.wav -> 08-3-D.wav
• • D#3.wav -> 09-3-D#.wav
• • E3.wav -> 10-3-E.wav
• • F3.wav -> 11-3-F.wav
• • F#3.wav -> 12-3-F#.wav
