I'd really like to build one of these that plays music by itself (the sound of the machine operating plays a recognizable tune). similar to this (self playing super mario world):

this would be an order of magnitude more difficult than a regular RG machine in meatspace as the timing has to be precise.

I had the same thought as you when I watched the video - have the machine produce the audio track entirely.
