Baz Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Ok. This may not look like much at first, but I've literally spent a couple hours playing around with this tiny little flash applet. It was so cool, I couldn't not post it here. I've seen similar things done before--pretend beat-boxes and synthesizers and what not--but I don't know what it is exactly about this one that stands out. There's something simplistically beautiful about it. To someone who owns or has ever owned a synthesizer or other electronic music device, this may seem a bit familiar and a step down from what he or she is used to (since it only plays "bells"), but, for the rest of us, who only wish they had one, this is simply a delight. To put it simply, you are given a grid, each box representing a different note at a different time, each of which you can turn on or off. It continuously plays the grid from left to right. Start turning on notes, and eventually you'll start hearing the notes being played. Every time a note is played, it will light up on the grid. Soon enough you may have a little tune going. The grid gives you a nice visualization of the music, so you can have fluttering melodies by drawing zig-zags, cacophony of sounds by filling in big bunches of blocks, a driving base-beat by filling in every-other bottom box, etc. This is something you'll really have to try yourself to get the full picture here. I've already recreated parts of Echoes by Pink Floyd and a couple Daft Punk songs here and there on it... Set aside some time and check it out: http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix You can also right click to copy and paste the matrix for later or to share. Example: copy this: 128,544,68880,74818,65540,72,1040,75936,576,2176,71968,66064,1040,4640,65824,33280 right click the grid and paste Try it out!!!

TheDoctor Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'm on my itouch so I can't look at it now, but I think I know what you're talking about. I actually have three apps that do just this. There's just this simplistic giggly fun about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
