Show HN: Triadex Muse in a Browser
- jdontillman 9y agoThe Triadex Muse was a digital algorithmic music composer invented in 1969 by Marvin Minsky and Edward Fredkin at MIT. The Muse is incredibly rare; one report claims that only 280 were built, and a small fraction of those are likely in working condition today. And that's a shame, because this was a remarkable device and we can learn much from it. This is a Javascript simulation of the Muse that runs in a browser. Please enjoy!

- andybak 9y agoThe patterns are surprisingly interesting considering the relatively simple algorithm. I'd love to try this out with better sounds and maybe some more dynamics.
