I'm just finishing up my latest project A midi laser harp based on this design:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Laser-Harp-1/

I was wondering if someone here would be able to understand the arduino coding.

I would really like to know how I would be able to change what MIDI notes are being sent out so try different scales and get rid of the octave change in the first and last input.
Please help!

^the harp is upside-down so I can mess with the photo-resistors

here's the code 1 of 2:

i dont into programming but reading the code
>byte midiOctave = 5;
maybe but just test and tune altering
other alternative
contact the programmer and ask the source directly
