sweet (although no way I would ever know how to master this)

It is incredibly easy! Just start tapping squares and then stop when you hit something you like; I've been fiddling with it for 3 minutes and have already created at least one awesome minitune.

(The layout helps; creating geometric patterns translates almost directly into neat tunes.)

ha of course the first thing I did on that page was recreate "Insomnia" by Faithless

I remember seeing demos of these; it seemed like they were custom-made machines for churning out JRPG soundtracks.

Wait, so it's just ten fixed notes in some mode they've chosen? I clearly don't have the ear-training to figure this out by listening, but the ten-note height of the grid seems ... not that widely useful

Oh, hold on, it's just two octaves, pentatonic, isn't it

nabisco, Tuesday, 23 June 2009 17:46 (fifteen years ago)

yeah, pentatonic funns

get money fuck witches (HI DERE), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 17:49 (fifteen years ago)

The ToneMatrix is pentatonic, too -- which I didn't get until I was like "how come it sounds good no matter what I do?" Then I tried to recreate Steve Reich's "Nagoya Marimbas."

Huh, I only just now listened to the YouTube at the top of the thread -- I guess I thought it would actually be a melodica tone.

Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 18:19 (fifteen years ago)

v. cool stuff, with that iphone app it would be nice if you good blend notes to create longer tones. i didn't sit through the entire 8 minutes, but assuming it can't be done.

Alright Dan, you were right - this is seriously awesome!

baaderonixx, Thursday, 25 June 2009 13:43 (fifteen years ago)

told you

get money fuck witches (HI DERE), Thursday, 25 June 2009 13:48 (fifteen years ago)

prefer the online tonematrix version, there's no way my toadstool sized fingers would be able to press an individual square

Great Scott! It's Molecular Man. (Ste), Thursday, 25 June 2009 16:24 (fifteen years ago)

Peeps should check out tonepod which is free
