Sorry Rob, Everything is based on MIDI, so completely synchronous.
Midi itself does not make music, it is an electronic form of sheet music.
A Midi player, e.g. a keyboard, sends out midi signals that are converted into sound in a synthesizer.
I use the same signals to generate the movements.
Each note has a position of one of the arms.
On/off controls the solenoids under the hands.
If you want to know more, the internet is bursting at the seams about this.
Download the attached midi file and just play it on your PC. (which then works as a synthesizer.
What is even more fun: download the program ANVIL STUDIO that I have been using myself for years, (
https://www.anvilstudio.com), load that file and see for yourself what it looks like.
Greetings
Hans
