Creating/making Music ICs

[Guest Tkjas]

Hi,

I want to know how to program Music ICs.
And how to u start this?

Thanks!

What is a music IC?
Give us a part number or a datasheet. Its datasheet will say how to program it.

I mean like any music IC, I thought that u can use a ucontroller as a music IC
I don't have any idea about Music ICs except that they are used in birthday cards, toys, and some door bill. They store music.
Could anyone help me get started?  :)

You cannot reprogram the music of a cheap IC on a birthday card or toy. It is made with the music on it.

There are some ICs available somewhere that you can record a few seconds of sounds.
A ucontroller could be programmed to use its memory to record some sounds.

Hi Audioguru,
I'm not talking about reprogramming them.
I just want to know how do the companies make the music ICs. Do they program the ICs, or.......?
I also heard that u can program a melody into a IC?
How can I get started?

Thanks

Look at Melody IC in Google. There are some with songs in them or with tones that you can play. There are some that you can use to record sounds. They are simple and cheap so the quality of the sound is poor.

Look for ISD25XX Series. i.e. ISD2560 with 60second storage or ISD25120 with 120s.

They have all things you need. i.e. Amplifer, Address Pins, ... You just connect a Mic.
BTW, as I understood, the storage for all Ics are the same, the difference between 120s with 60s is in ADC Sample rate. In fact the quality of ISD120 is lower than ISD60.

Record sounds, mic?

In birthday cards, and others, the sounds are pure, solid tones, and the quality's not bad.  ???

I usually see those chips with the black case melted over them in birthday cards.

Also, I think that I might have confused everyone when I wrote IC. I really meant like chips. They could be ICs,microcontrollers,etc

Tkjas, you posted in the wrong area. You should have asked this question in the microcontroller area where programmers would have given you an answer.
Here is a link that will help:

Best of luck!

Just tak a look at Datasheet, You will find what you need there. A mic is not always needed.

Thanks everyone!!!

BTW, does MP stand for Master Programmer, or Microcontroller Programmer?  ;D

No, it does not. But I AM a programmer....    ;D

Good luck with your project!

you don't need this program. I have a better advice for you. Contact them http://www.majormixing.com/. They will do everything for you. They have professional audio studio and qualified workers. So you won't have to make music yourself because it is much easier and better if they do it.  Also if you visit their website you can read reviews about them. You are wellcome

Music ICs like UM66 are avaiable. However, you cannot customize them. UM66 can play only the music that is already set by the manufacturer. If you want to play something of your own choice, I think you can move to Arduino related projects. Using waveshare VS1053B music shield.

Here is another music playing PCB based on Arduino Nano that you may like to see:
