/* :: :: DESCRIPTION :: This is C source for small musical pentatonic toy-program for Linux that I wrote. This program has C major, G major, Eb major and E minor pentatonic scales. You can play them right from keyboard (12345, QWERT, ASDFG, ZXCVB). Save this text as pentatonic.c file, navigate with terminal and... ...compile with: gcc -o pentatonic pentatonic.c; then run with ./pentatonic Tested on Ubuntu 13.04 Alpha with gcc/g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-19ubuntu1) NOTE 1. It does need Sox to work, since command "play" is used. NOTE 2. The code is in work for now. It is not final version. NOTE 3. I am totally newbie in C, so there might be many other possibilities of replicating my work in other, more correct and easy way.
