Thank you, Noble Sir Toto.

Sure. Here is the player source and some random (although I'd prefer much 
bigger and better) collection of tunes:

http://softjunk.org/sw/apple2/eld/eldplay.zip


The player is ANSI C, single small file, converting from stdin to stdout. 
Example:

eldplay < electric_duet_file > file.wav


Two versions are provided.

"eldplay-oot.c" - the Out of Tune version, which uses same limited pitches 
as in Electric Duet. Keen observers may have noticed that some high notes 
are actually the same pitch because of insufficient accuracy.

"eldplay.c" - notes are translated to more precise equal-tempered scale, 
sounds nicer.


Some history on this - I originally made it to be eventually included as 
an Easter egg into a commercial product. In the end, I put a full featured 
MOD player.


Last but not least - my personal respect to Paul Lutus. Electric Duet and 
GraFORTH were part of my inspiration while growing as a kid.
