How would the Chorusbox circuit work mechanically?

[WilsonGLR]

I plan on creating a Chorusbox circuit replica for a WX-78 Cosplay i am working on, i plan on making the bulb of the circuit out of Acrylic and then adding a few details like the symbol and the "Bulby" inside.

I also want it to be "functional", i want it to play the melody heard in-game. So i'll most likely put all the electronics on the base, with a small speaker of sorts and a recorded audio activated by a switch or a button.

This future project got me thinking:

"How does the Chorusbox circuit work ingame?"

Not like "What does it do in gameplay?" And more so "How does it play music?"

My Theory:

'Maybe it activates some sort of hidden feature and or uses the same means of Wx's speech as a way of making the notes?'

I want to hear what people think about this, and i want to hear some other fun theories maybe

At the end of thr day we could just boil it down to it being a gameplay thing and the constant allowing many illogical things like magic, but i think it's fun to think on how it would realistically work.

Ps:

if anyone has any ideas on how i could maybe make my replica work better (+ if i ever bothered, how i would make another circuit play the Rhythm along with the melody) please feel free to drop any ideas 

Thanks for reading

And thanks Klei for this amazing franchise.

Probably like this. Wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume WX has something akin to a hard drive inside somewhere right?

Alternatively it just uses the shell bell that is needed to craft the thing in the first place, but that's less fun.

Initially I was going to go with something similar to a music box, the ones that use a cylinder with pips to create a sound when they pass a row of small metal bands. But after listening to the circuit again it seems to be playing through something similar to a gramophone (which makes sense considering the nature of Don't Starve). So you could do with the cylinder pip music box like thing with a small audio track attached nearby to make the static gramophone sound. Or, given how small the loop is for the soundtrack, actually make a vinyl record of that 10 second loop and have it play on a tiny gramophone (not practical, plus it wouldn't loop cleanly.

Or, all else fails, just grab the sound files and play them through a speaker. Given the file size, it doesn't need that much storage if you could somehow program it to auto loop when turned on.
