singing SC/MP

Talking computers are commonplace in Science Fiction, and once in a while a touch of comedy is added by introducing a singing `brain`. In real life, talking computers are still in their infancy - a vocabulary of a few dozen words places them in the `skilled` category. Funnily enough, it`s much easier to make an `electronic brain` hum a tune! Even the relatively slow and dull-witted microprocessor can reproduce melodies with a high degree of accuracy. This is demonstrated in the SC/MP program described here. With Christmas in the air, a well-known tune was chosen: `Silent Night`. Programs for several other well-known tunes are also included on an ESS record. For interested readers, who are not (yet) the proud owners of a SC/MP system, the µP`s rendition of these tunes is recorded `live` on the B-side of the same disc.
