We made a Pico Board piano out of tinfoil and cardboard. There is tinfoil on the gloves and then four separate pieces of tinfoil that are the keys. We connected a alligator clip, one side to the glove (fingers) and one side to the keys, and then connected each one to A,B,C, and D on the pico board and connected it to our computer. Our program works when we use sounds, like pop, but not when we use notes. Do you know how to fix it, or what is wrong?
Script...
When space pressed start program:
if A connected
play note 57 for two beats
if B connected
play note 21 for two beats
and so on

Sounds like 'pop' are .wav or .mp3 files, but notes are generally executed via a MIDI music playback device on the computer. From the description you provided, you're probably having a problem with the MIDI playback device.
Try opening up the Volume control panel for the MIDI device (on Windows XP, go to 'start' -> Control Panel -> Sound and Audi Devices -> 'Audio' Tab -> 'Volume' button under MIDI music playback) and see if the SW synth volume is all the way up and un-muted. Hope this helps!
