ToneMatrix

[filkertom]

huskiebear showed me a very cool little web toy called Matrix, basically a sine-wave synth with a 16-step sequencer: you click on the squares and they play tones, you click on them again to clear them, it loops left to right. But it's propagated so far across the web that it was a little tricky to find the original source.

Turns out it's been out there for about two years, and it's called ToneMatrix.

There are other commands: press Space to clear all the squares, and right-click to save the sequence (to a numeric text, basically to remind yourself what it was).

Any cool web toys or games you've played with lately?

Also just have to say about ToneMatrix: it would be a nifty experiment to have a waterproof board laid out like the grid on the screen, hooked up to a computer and put it out in the rain and let the rain make the music!

I'd like to see someone convert the tiles of a public space to something like this, so as people walk across the tones, beats and maybe instruments change. Would be interesting to see what patterns develop.

Or at the very least, make a big roll-out pressure sensitive tarp with pictures and squares and stuff for kids to jump on to make music.
