import board, time, audiopwmio, synthio, random
audio = audiopwmio.PWMAudioOut(board.GP10)
synth = synthio.Synthesizer(sample_rate=22050)
audio.play(synth)

lfo_tremo1 = synthio.LFO(rate=3)  # 3 Hz for fastest note
lfo_tremo2 = synthio.LFO(rate=2)  # 2 Hz for middle note
lfo_tremo3 = synthio.LFO(rate=1)  # 1 Hz for lower note
lfo_tremo4 = synthio.LFO(rate=0.75) # 0.75 Hz for lowest bass note

def do_notes(midi_note):
    note1 = synthio.Note( synthio.midi_to_hz(midi_note), amplitude=lfo_tremo1)
    note2 = synthio.Note( synthio.midi_to_hz(midi_note-7), amplitude=lfo_tremo2)
    note3 = synthio.Note( synthio.midi_to_hz(midi_note-12), amplitude=lfo_tremo3)
    note4 = synthio.Note( synthio.midi_to_hz(midi_note-24), amplitude=lfo_tremo4)
    synth.release_all_then_press( (note1, note2, note3, note4) )

start_note = 65
song_notes = (start_note+0, start_note+5, start_note-3)
i=0
while True:
    print("hi, we're just groovin")
    do_notes(song_notes[i])
    i= (i+1) % len(song_notes)
    time.sleep(8)

And if you want the LFOs to retrigger on each note press, add this after press()-ing the notes:

    for lfo in (lfo_tremo1,lfo_tremo2,lfo_tremo3,lfo_tremo4):
        lfo.retrigger()

Thanks for this code, I think it's gonna revitalize my 'featheremin' project!

I believe line 28 should be
i= (i+1) % len(song_notes)

Thanks!

Thanks and yep sorry for the typo. Fixing now!
