Guitar Hero Hacks 42

Edge Online has a short blurb mentioning a project at the University of California turning the Guitar Hero guitar into a real instrument. From the article: "For the final project of their Computer Audio course, University of California students Travis Chen and Sunny Chan have created Guitar Hero Hack, a plugin for sequencing software Max/MSP that lets players assign switchable banks of samples to each of the controller's buttons, utilizes its tilt switch as a way to clear current audio on any given track, and, the two hope, might be on its way to a fully functioning live instrument." His incredibly impressive demo video is well worth watching.

    #include <windows.h>

    void main()
    {
    Beep(392,500);//G
    Beep(466,500);//Bb
    Beep(523,1000);//C2
    Beep(392,500);//G
    Beep(466,500);//Bb
    Beep(554,500);//Db
    Beep(523,1000);//C2
