I liked the mistuning. Gave it a lovely, medieval sound.

Are the internals of the project documented anywhere? I'd love to see how you did the synchronisation (and why you had to use that interloping Acornesque Pi instead of another Spectrum as conductor - was it a file server as well?) and see some code...

A purist would doubtless sigh after a Spectrum only network using Interface 1's ZX Net and Microdrives, but (a) life is too short (b) I doubt anyone else would care and (c) I am not that man. :)

This has been around for a while, and is much more widely known than the reply from the software team leader on the Pathfinder mission -- which puts a somewhat different light on things.
