About this Project

Overview

This project demonstrates how to reproduce Giorno’s Theme Song (Il Vento Doro) using two Arduino boards for precise pitch layering. By leveraging the built‑in tone() function and a simple digital handshake, the system synchronizes both units to play overlapping notes in real time.

The primary board emits a trigger pulse on pin 2, which the secondary board receives via pin 3. Each board runs a dedicated waveform array, ensuring that higher‑octave notes are played on the second Arduino to avoid frequency clipping.
