SongCode

SongCode was an animatronic programming system made by Pizza Time Theatre in or prior to 1978.

The first known usage would be at the second location, San Jose, CA (1371 Kooser Rd), with its hardware detailed in the SongCode Control System.

It was used to animate the Kooser PTT Show, Cyberamics, and later Rock-afire Explosion showtapes throughout the late 80's. The Animation Programming System (APS) would replace it in 1990, staying as the main programming software till present day.

Format
The format is believed to be an earlier variation of what would later appear in the Studio C 3x DVD + Floppy showtape format, being a command based structure, rather than a snapshot based one.
