The Monkeys

Using the below computer controlled mechanism, an experiment to see if chimps (which we'll refer to as monkeys, just because) can be taught to play songs as a band.

Drum pads and keyboards are set up to automatically light up in sequence to show which key or drum pad to hit creating a note. This is a training system that eventually will fade out and (hopefully) not be needed as the monkeys learn the parts themselves. Since the training algorithm would be automatic patience wouldn't be needed, if it took months of hours of lessons a day just to learn a few notes, no bid deal. Computers are very patient.

To be clear, if the key or drum pad isn't lit up, it won't trigger a sound. I'm guessing this part would be pretty quick to learn. The question would be, would the sequence be memorized as the "hit here" lights faded out? Dunno, but it would be an interesting experiment.

Eventually (maybe) you could have a band of actual monkeys playing actual instruments making actual music.
