Hello, everyone!

PyAno 1.3 is out. And it's a bit of a benchmark, too. Check the video here. Hell, make your own video later (please )! Some new features I really like are in here, too...

- Background Music (Select tracks or beats to be played while you play PyAno. Requires Mplayer, which will not be installed automatically.)
- Easy-Instrument-Install. All you need to do is select the file. Everything else is done for you PyAno supports three extra instruments!

Get PyAno 1.3 here, in the garage.



Now, about the title of this post...

We need more instruments! Guitars, banjos, flutes, lutes lying about? Violins, bagpipes? Well, please help make PyAno better

Making an instrument is just as easy as installing one. Simply create a folder with your instrument's name and put twelve wav files in it. Then, tar that baby up and share! (tar.gz, actually. And I suggest keeping the wavs down to about four seconds long, too.)

The mixer is picky about what kind of wavs it will play. So I suggest using Audacity to record them. That works perfectly.

The twelve wav files are the notes and their sharps. "z" means sharp:

a.wav, az.wav, b.wav, c.wav, cz.wav, d.wav, dz.wav, e.wav, f.wav, fz.wav, g.wav, gz.wav

I've put two instruments together, both are in the garage with PyAno. The drums sound nice The flute... eh, not so much, but it works

Give it a try and install one in PyAno!


(Who's up for a PyAno Zelda? I had to. Will the next song be yours? )
