But why? 
This brings back memories of visiting the computer lab at university in the middle of the night to enter the Fortran program to be run in the next batch because the lab was quieter then so easier to get on a terminal. I should have been sleeping or partying. It’s hard being an engineering student!

Maybe because music theory = mathematics = Fortran ?
This is just amazing… Although I’m the proud owner of a venerable V2 kit that I restored to work earlier this week with stable oram, this is my first post here.
I came to learn and to check for portable midi keyboard options, and I found this gem.
Actually, I did some music back in 1982 with Fortran IV, plus a bit of assembly…
Back then, me and an university colleague created Data General Nova 4 assembly code to make a diatonic scale with PWM using only the buzzer/bell/crtl-G of the Tektronix 4010 terminal. Then I made a kind of karaoke system in Fortran: a basic melody was defined with a text simple syntax, along with the lyrics, and the editor would trigger the compiler and link with the assembly routine to produce and run an executable that played the song in the 4010 - a kazoo sound alike - displaying the lyrics in sync. The top hit was a rendition of “Scotland the Brave”.
I wish I had some video/audio. But I still have that (now useless) code

Now when was the last time we ran a competition around a piece…?
Probably the Jump opening synth line…
Oh and welcome aboard!
I lost a fortran for dummies book on Paddington station a long time ago. I’m not hopeful of gettting it back…
