Arduino Due and tone()

here's a monolithic proof-of-concept of tone()

/*
  Melody on pin 8 of DUE
 
 http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Tone
 
 */


// notes in the melody:
int melody[] = { 262,196, 196, 220, 196, 0,  247, 262
  /*NOTE_C4, NOTE_G3,NOTE_G3, NOTE_A3, NOTE_G3,0, NOTE_B3, NOTE_C4*/ };

// note durations: 4 = quarter note, 8 = eighth note, etc.:
int noteDurations[] = {
  4, 8, 8, 4,4,4,4,4 };

void setup() {
}

void loop() {
  // iterate over the notes of the melody:

  for (int thisNote = 0; thisNote < 8; thisNote++) {

    // to calculate the note duration, take one second 
    // divided by the note type.
    //e.g. quarter note = 1000 / 4, eighth note = 1000/8, etc.
    int noteDuration = 1000/noteDurations[thisNote];
    tone(8, melody[thisNote],noteDuration);

    // to distinguish the notes, set a minimum time between them.
    // the note's duration + 30% seems to work well:
    int pauseBetweenNotes = noteDuration * 1.30;
    delay(pauseBetweenNotes);
    // stop the tone playing:
    noTone(8);
  }
  delay(3000);

}


/*
 Tone generator
 v1  use timer, and toggle any digital pin in ISR
   funky duration from arduino version
   TODO use FindMckDivisor?
   timer selected will preclude using associated pins for PWM etc.
    could also do timer/pwm hardware toggle where caller controls duration
