- mkhopper 3y agoCould be useful as an alarm. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=gEFAQqAEkAIIAQQCBkQIQIIJhAYBBgIJBUAKwIAzgAA%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=gEFAQqAEkAII...

- wpietri 3y agoOoh, both of those are very cheery. Thanks for posting them; poking around on my own I was a bit intimidated.
- cgijoe 3y agoBest I could come up with: https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=QoEgAEFEgABCiCAARQKAAEKIIABAEIAIhUBBQhKAJIg%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=QoEgAEFEgABC...
- AceJohnny2 3y ago(disclaimer: music theory clueless) If it's using a pentatonic scale, why is the number of tones not a multiple of 5 (there are 16) ?
- weeniehutjr420 3y agoThe grid includes three octaves of [C D E G A] plus one more C. (The highest and lowest note are both C.)

- itishappy 3y agoDope. I cannot stop playing with this. Groove: https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAIAIAAAAEBYAAAAABAAAABCAAAAAAAhaAAAAABEAAA%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAIAIAAAAEBY...

- madcaptenor 3y agohttps://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AIGAAAAEIEAAAYCAIAgQAAEBQAAABCCAAAFAAAEQgAA%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AIGAAAAEIEAA... I like how it’s possible to make something that feels polyphonic even though there’s only one note playing at a time. (there are a couple time steps where I broke this constraint, but it’s the overall effect I was aiming for.)

- Mizza 3y agoCute, could do with a bit more variety of sounds and sequencing abilities. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=gAEAAAAIAAAHhAAAgBAAAAABAACAAAABEAAgAEAggAA%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=gAEAAAAIAAAH...
- nologic01 3y agovery cool. you'd think that with the web audio api there would have been an explosion of creative takes on music generation (like this one) but I am not sure it has happened...
- turnsout 3y agoSadly people with those skills will make iOS apps or plugins, because it’s so much more work to monetize a web app.
- fat-chunk 3y agoYou're in for a surprise, https://audiotool.com https://audiotool.com is a fully-fledged DAW with advanced music synthesis running in the browser. It actually is where ToneMatrix originates from, and is still one of the useable synths in the DAW!
- gravitronic 3y agoSince 2020 I built https://sequencer.party https://sequencer.party Supports third-party plugins in a format called WAM2 (Web Audio Module version 2). Collaborative, like Google Docs. Sign in and start a session, invite people. Turn a knob, and it turns for everyone. Supports audio, midi, and video as well. Supports custom Javascript sequencers (Function Sequencer plugin). You can (collaboratively) write a little javascript program, give it knobs dials and automateable parameters, and have it emit MIDI events. There's some usability issues to still work on but it's quite fun to jam on. I used to host twitch sessions where people could sequence my TR-909 and minimoog, and then hear the instruments played back over twitch.
- B3QL 3y agoI love that, easy and simple interface. Straight forward creation with nice sound. Fantastic music toy to play with. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=%252F%252F8AAAAA%252FH8BAAEAAQABAAQAAEAAAAAgAAAQAAAAAIA%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=%252F%252F8A...
- 11002929 3y agoSomething similar from a few years back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23512297 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23512297 Morning coffee noodle: https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAAAtUgCIgAAAFBAIAUAAkkAIFgEAAAAACUgAAACAAU%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAAAtUgCIgAA...
- k2enemy 3y agoVery fun to play with. I wish there were an option to save the audio file so I could make my own phone alert.
- stronglikedan 3y agoJust use a separate audio recorder app, since it doesn't have to be hifi for phone sound.
- mxuribe 3y agoI just tried yt-dlp, but its too generic for it to "know" how to download - so didn't work...so i think the suggestion from @stronglikedan is the next best thing...Of course, the absolute best thing would be to propose such a new feature on their github repo. :-)
- jrajav 3y agoOh wow, this is so cool. Based on the layout and the sounds, it HAS to be heavily inspired by the Tenori-on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_Tenori-on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_Tenori-on, and I for one am very here for that.
- stronglikedan 3y agoI love that it sounds like steel drums - one of my favorite instruments.
- uoaei 3y agoMight have just stumbled onto a pleasant-sounding, neutrally-styled ringtone. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAAAAAgAAIAABAAAAgAAAAAEAIAUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAAAAAgAAIAA...
- atleastoptimal 3y agoI remember downloading this as an iphone app 12 years ago
- gregschlom 3y agoThis is a modern reimplementation of original version, which was a Flash app made by André Michelle (http://lab.andre-michelle.com http://lab.andre-michelle.com), in the 2000's
- izzydata 3y agoI remember having a .swf of this 20+ years ago. I wonder if I still have that somewhere on my computer.
- tenori-on 3y agoThe original ToneMatrix was in turn a knockoff of the Yamaha Tenori-on, which was actually a hardware product - a really pretty sophisticated if sometimes frustratingly limited self-contained controller/sequencer/synthesizer. Yamaha stopped making the hardware somewhere in the early 2010s, but released a couple of iOS software versions (TNR-i, emulating the original Tenori-on sounds, and later TNR-e which changed the sounds to be more EDM and less... Yamaha). Inevitably, as software is an eternal treadmill, Yamaha never bothered to update the apps past iOS 13 - but my TNR-W hardware still does the thing, much to the delight of my kids. (I bought one on a whim when my eldest was a toddler - it has survived 10 years of her and then her younger sister's bashing. They're teenagers now! Yamaha makes quality stuff when they feel like it.) While it never set the world on fire, it also sold enough that used models are still around. If you do buy a used one, note that the original model with the metal case and white LEDs (TNR-W) are worth the premium over the newer white case/orange LED (TNR-O) models; the former are sturdier, have lights on both sides, and can run on AA batteries (TNR-O requires external power).
- munificent 3y agoHere's a fun one: https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AEEgCAQBIIAEEACCQBAIAkEACCABBIAgEASCABBAAgg%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AEEgCAQBIIAE... If I try very hard, I can focus on it as a single rising series of pitches. But otherwise, I here it more as a sixteen step repeating arpeggio.
- AceJohnny2 3y agoOoh, I wonder if you could make a Shepard Tone [1] (I know nothing of music theory so I don't know how to implement it in ToneMatrix's scale) Edit: it appears making a Shepard Tone requires volume control of each sequence, which ToneMatrix cannot do.

- tonymillion 3y agoMy new alarm clock. On a sidetone it would be great to export as a audio file https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=gCEQAIggBACAkQAAgCAAAIAhEACIAAQAhJEIBJAQIAQ%253D https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=gCEQAIggBACA...
