Nicely done! It’s a neat game. I wouldn’t call it a great tool because it’s impossible for me to interpret the music from the blocks themselves without playing it. That being said I’m sure that wasn’t the original intent of the app! 2D info is much easier for me to decipher.

  Yeah, its cool, its fun, but its not useful for actual real world composition, since its rather convoluted to work with and this final piece is incomprehensible, especially compared to a paino roll or similar. But, of course, like you, I assume that's not the goal so it doesn't matter. It is cool and it is fun and that's all that's important. And I'm very impressed by this example! garrettjoecox did a great job.

    I'm biased of course, but I think there are actually music-makers who enjoy novel and non-linear sequencers like this, particularly for idea generation / experimentation. Not saying it would have mainstream appeal, but there are considerations other than interpretability for some people. E.g. Conditional logic and probability cubes let you do things that can't be done on a normal piano roll. At least that's why I added MIDI output - for the people who want to connect it to their DAW or other MIDI device.

what song is this?

  "Mad World" by Tears for Fears

    I think the Riverdale cover of it is more known among a lot of people. https://music.apple.com/en/album/mad-world-feat-k-j-apa-camila-mendes-lili-reinhart/1456327297?i=1456327303 https://music.apple.com/en/album/mad-world-feat-k-j-apa-cami... It seems to be the version that they sample from in meme videos on YouTube and TikTok where they try to express a feeling of sadness either in honesty or ironically. Where they put the video in grayscale mode and put the part of this song over it that goes “all around me are familiar faces, worn out places” and so on. They also use the song The Song of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel for this same purpose. https://music.apple.com/en/album/the-sound-of-silence/192480256?i=192480260 https://music.apple.com/en/album/the-sound-of-silence/192480... This latter one is the one that goes “hello darkness my old friend” and so on.
