- ed 18y agoThat is absolutely beautiful. Can someone with more Theory knowledge comment on the relationship between squares? I can't seem to find a single ugly chord!
- gb 18y agoIt's a D major pentatonic scale, I think.
- ThomPete 18y agoas long as you follow some sort of scale harmony you wont get ugly cords.
- ThomPete 18y agoand yes pentatonic scales are used a lot in eastern music so that will solve it. You only have 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th
- mtinkerhess 18y agoA pentatonic scale such as the one in this app consists of scale degrees 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6.
- cturner 18y agoFor more information, see this series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpvfSOP2slk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpvfSOP2slk Pentatonic scale is seriously cool (when do re mi so la) because you can combine any sequence of sounds and it always sounds good. I've been writing a monitoring app whereby each system in our infrastructure has its own motif and when something happens it gets played on the monitoring box. At least.. that's the goal. Currently a stuck on the network protocol and generally frustated with lack of solid multiplatform sound options. Have been working in jython.
- kqr2 18y agoI wish there was a way to save your patterns.
- ed 18y agoRight click and copy. You can then paste into a text editor.
- riklomas 18y agoThis is based on the Japanese electronic instrument, Tenori-on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenori-on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenori-on
- sedm0784 18y agoLittle Boots's cover of Hot Chip's Ready for the Fun is my current favourite example of Tenori-on music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6tLRCDqJ2c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6tLRCDqJ2c
- andr 18y agoThat's great for creating custom notification sounds for your app.
- icode 18y agoBlack, empty screen here. (Firefox under Ubuntu)
- strider24 18y agoUpdate Flash Player.
- lsb 18y agoSame, Safari in 10.5 --- Javascripters have to deal with graceful degredation / progressive enhancement, why not Flash?
- gb 18y agoIt's not always possible in Flash, as SWFs published for newer players are sometimes completely incompatible with older versions of the player - usually it's done with JS on the page it's embedded on. Besides, this is just an experiment - I bet you don't see those canvas demos taking these things into account!
- pj 18y agoThis is one more reason that flash is bad. Adobe makes truly terrible software. Sure, it makes pretty images and stuff, but it's horribly written and architected.
- samueladam 18y agoWorking fine on Debian Lenny 64bits with 32bits shockwave flash 10 r15.

- Nogwater 18y agoSomeone else can probably do much better: 0,128,0,0,32,0,0,512,0,0,16384,0,0,2048,0,0
- wallflower 18y agoIf you like generating and playing music this way, Brian Eno's $3.99 iPhone app Bloom is very similar. I was addicted to Bloom for a couple days. http://gizmodo.com/5061004/brian-enos-bloom-raises-the-bar-for-musical-iphone-apps http://gizmodo.com/5061004/brian-enos-bloom-raises-the-bar-f...
- sedm0784 18y agoPaklsound1 (currently £1.19) is an even more similar iPhone app: http://pakl.net/iphone/PaklSound1/ http://pakl.net/iphone/PaklSound1/
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoI was toying with some ideas like this for a toy design. this is rather elegant.
- moeffju 18y agoIt would be great if someone were to bring the full feature set of the Tenori-on to software. It's a very cool tool, but the price is prohibitive for people who just want to experiment with music.

- pistoriusp 18y agoWhat does this mean?
- iamwil 18y agoIt's the musical pattern he made. Cut and paste he numerical string he has up there into the tone matrix app. Get a surprise.
- tewks 18y agoIt's similar to Bloom, the popular iPhone app by Brian Eno and a devloper. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=292792586&mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftwa...
- JabavuAdams 18y agoSo time sweeps from left to right. How about doing a Conway's Game of Life iteration after every time-sweep? You draw the initial pattern, then the CA generates subsequent patterns.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoawesome idea.
- gb 18y agoThere's a Reaktor ensemble based on Life: http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=r5library&L=1 http://www.native-instruments.com/index.php?id=r5library&... (see "NEWSCOOL") It doesn't sound too great actually, or at least it's quite obvious to the ear once you've heard it being used once. Fun to play with though.
- thexa4 18y agoEven when using a program that randomly clicks on the flash it still sounds good: 0,208,1028,81984,264,5408,0,32784,65584,65808,264,0,81920,16448,49184,288
- ivanstojic 18y agoI'm lovin it. 2014,1352,128094,86016,71644,842,62940,65536,98316,65554,61458,0,75742,86412,86802,38848
- ashot 18y agothis is a performance art. a relatively simple an awesome addition would be something that would record a session and replay it. then build a simple social net/comments ratings on sessions.
