Musical Keyboard v1

Last updated 10-02-2023

Added Foreward: I'm not sure if this will run on anyone else's computer from the .ahk version because I didn't make the file paths variable so please let me know if you try the script and it doesn't work!  I think the .exe should work though.  Contact me at falsemath@falsemath.com to report issues.

I've spent a lot of time over the last year or so getting familiar with the scripting language AutoHotKey and just recently I had the idea of making a script that will play a unique musical sound for every button on the keyboard and mouse.  I've been using it for a few days now and I've been having fun with it so I wanted to share it.  I've included a compiled version which means you can just download it and run it.  There are still a few missing, namely buttons which don't correspond to letters or numbers, such as `, -, +, \, Tab, [, ], ,, ., and other similar characters.  I intend to add these at some point.  There's also a bit of latency still, I'm not sure how I'm going to go about making it more responsive but so far I haven't found it to be too immersion-breaking for lack of a better word.   

If you're curious how it works and want to modify it to use your own sounds or want to make sure I'm not spying on you or installing a keylogger, open the .ahk file in Notepad to look at how the script was written and then you can compile the .exe yourself  and it will run exactly the same as the compiled .exe that you can download here. 

Download the compiled .exe, the .ahk script file, and the README file below!
