MIDI music for the X1 series

You can try this gcode I made, it’s very rough and unpolished but you can actually experience what you can get from the motors. Just extract the gcode from the zip file, put it on your USB stick or SD card and print (you will click print but don’t worry, it’s not an actual print, it will just play the music) :slight_smile:

The link may not work by just clicking on it, so if not, copy the link in your browser and press enter to download (your browser might say it’s not safe to download but it is, it’s my work not a dubious download I copied)

It should work for both X1C and H2D

Just now tried twice again and it is not working on my X1C.
I would download your file, but for security reasons(here at work I can’t) -
But why not paste a small section of it in plain text?

So my gcode has several ticks in it.
example -
;Tick 11606, Time 116 sec
It has the semi colon at front which is merely a comment.
Here is a small section from the very start of the gcode:

;runescape-sea shanty 2 (2).mid

;Tick 204, Time 2 sec
M73 P1 R1

The whole gcode only comes out to about 31kb of space, and it does end with an M18.
I’m going to give it one last try and then give up for now.

Have you tried your gcode on X1C?

  • I don’t think it’ll work as it doesn’t seem to support this yet

Oops, sorry guys, It worked on H2D so I assumed it would be the same on X1C but just tried it on my P1S and it does nothing… So may be it does nothing on the X1C. Sorry

@philch No problems, they have the header and footer for the startup and end music in the machine gcode for the X1C. So you’d think it should work.

Btw - I tested it on my H2D and it works! Cheers!

Were you able to get it working on the P1S?

No, it does not work on my P1S

That stinks, I was hoping it would work since I have a P1S too.

Still nothing?

I was really excited to get something to play on my P1S but so far im out of luck :worried:
