Hi!

My FLL Team would like to have their robot sign the "Charge!" bugle cry
at
the
start of each mission that the robot attempts.  I'm musically challenged.
Does anyone
have the note sequence for the "Charge!" bugle cry often heard at
Baseball,
Hockey, and
Indoor Soccer games? Something like Duh-da-duh-da-duh-da-duh-da-duh-dum,
then
everyone yells CHARGE!

I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the same riff as you are, since mine has
far fewer notes, but its worth a try...

I don't know the "official" key, and I'm doing this without a piano in
front of me, but any major chord should do the trick....

C E G C2 G C2

where C2 is one octave higher than C.  Both C2 notes should also have a
duration twice as long as the rest.  The RIS manual has a chart showing
the frequency values for the notes.

I hope this helps.

I don't think Dave is exactly right, but it is close.  (I tested it on
my panio.)  I believe though that it repeats twice, one octave higher
each time.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Hello, The sequence actually starts on the G, like this: PlayTone(392, EIGHTH); PlayTone(523, EIGHTH); PlayTone(659, EIGHTH); PlayTone(784, EIGHTH * 2); PlayTone(659, EIGHTH); PlayTone(784, EIGHTH * 2); A reasonable value for EIGHTH is 16.
