1. An electronic sound generating apparatus, for generating sound having a plurality of attributes controlled according to a scanned and decoded arbitrary bar code comprising:

  • scanning means operable for scanning an arbitrary bar code, said arbitrary bar code representing a plurality of arbitrary bar code encoded digits, and said scanning means providing a plurality of decoded digits corresponding to said plurality of said arbitrary bar code encoded digits;

    memory means for storing a plurality of sound attribute control data groups, each sound attribute control data group including a data element for controlling an attribute of a sound to be generated;

    sound attribute selection means, coupled to said memory means and responsive to said decoded digits received from said scanning means, for selecting a data element from a sound attribute control data group according to a decoded digit from said plurality of decoded digits of said scanned arbitrary bar code, and for providing that selected data element to control a sound attribute; and

    ,sound generating means, responsive to each said selected data element provided by said sound attribute selection means, for generating sound having said sound attributes determined by said scanned arbitrary bar code.
