Despite playing the piano, I never could get past that puzzle until I figured out how to make the computer record itself. I recorded playing the notes on the spaceship's keyboard, then played it back as I adjusted the sliders on the other side of the ship.

Did anyone else solve it this that way?

That's very cool. I love that a game inspired someone to problem solve on that sort of level.

That's what I feel Myst brought that has been so rarely replicated.

Yes! I had forgotten that I did this.
