so beautiful. I can imagine using this a lot if some buttons are added (start/stop harmony, view note/resonance, etc). great job

#12in Chrome, on my iphone, I can get a cool effect that looks like a glitch, but I wonder if it is a feature. If I hold a note a certain way, where the browser does a “select all”, and then drag my thumb, it drags a thumbnail of the page. When I release it, it keeps the first note and starts a new one using the new position of my thumb. I can create my own harmonies this way instead of the default parts that appear when I hold the note in place.

#13This is such a great way to practice! Thank you for creating it! Could you perhaps add pitch indicators on the side and multi touch support? Or maybe it's open source?

#14Add "display:block;" to canvas to fix the issue with vertical scroll appearing. Also, you might want to consider looking into vh and vw units to fill canvas to viewport without using javascript.

#15Does anyone make a USB Midi Theremin? That would totally be the right front end for this one!

#17I've also enjoyed Google's blob opera, for something similar! https://artsandculture.google.com/experiment/blob-opera/AAHW...
And the original singing mouths made by the same guy: https://www.adultswim.com/etcetera/choir/

#18This is awesome fun. Reminds of Google Blog Opera and Pink Trombone.
Can we have multiple voices when using multiple fingers please?
Edit: I can't sing or play music but this is making me feel like I am making someone sing nicely, it's relatively lot easy to play with.

Moog does - I've combined it with a midi translator app to customize midi (CC, etc) so that I can use it as an expression input to SWAM physically modeled instruments like violin.
