Anyway, it's amazing, everybody who ever composed stepper motor music,
as I did, should be ashamed, regarding to this stroke of genius, assumed
that it isn't a fake. Perhaps it's possible to do polyphonic music and
to produce cute sounds by using a matrix printer, my friends and I only
used one stepper motor and we only let the stepper motor bump the head.
I guess talented people might be able to control the frequency
additionally to the kind of waveform and they thought about a matrix
printer's hardware. It might be not a fake. Incredible.
