Playing music using MATLAB
In this problem you are asked to play (generate) the main melody of the song "Smoke On The Water" by Deep Purple using Matlab.
You have to play the song at its original tempo (112 beats per minute) first, and then at double that tempo.
The melody transcription is here. The notes and their corresponding timings are written above and below the staff. In case you don't know this song, you can find it on Youtube.
After that, you are asked to read off the melody at double the speed, i.e. if $ x(t) $ is your melody, then you will be playing $ x(2t) $.
Compare what you hear in the latter play to what you hear when you double the tempo of the melody. Explain.
