That was just the reading the data from the field. The bigger slowdown, which I haven't tested (yet) is the writing of the file, and connecting it to the player. It's very fast, but will probably be a significant fraction of a second. Apparently a half second delay is too long for 8 year olds, so hopefully it would be faster than that.

Another issue is the one about understanding MIDI, and its limitations, and requirements. I could probably do an interpreter that took HC play commands and created the MIDI needed to play the sound you asked for, but it would still require that QuickTime be installed. Also, I could only really specify General MIDI, and I don't thing that has the "boing" sound!
