New Module: Pagan's Code

[Centripidity]

I've recently been rewatching episodes of one of my favourite old British detective series and it reminded me that the composer on the series incorporated the name of the protagonist into the title music in Morse code. Occasionally he also used Morse to give clues, or red herrings, as to who was the guilty party in a particular episode.

This piqued my interest and I discovered that Morse code has been used in other compositions. For example the band Rush, arriving by private plane into Toronto airport, apparently heard the airport's designation code coming over the radio in Morse, decided they liked the rhythm and thus was born the track "YYZ".

So, I developed Pagan's Code - a module that takes a text string as input and generates a gate signal from the Morse code for that text.

You can use it to encode messages into your music or, like Rush, find words and/or sequences of text characters that generate interesting rhythms.
