Very much like a Yamaha Tenori-On. Nice work.
Maybe I'm blind, but is there a way to create an original composition? I tried clicking "Create" but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is it also possible to save the music we create?

The only major issue is that some UI breaks as soon as a new measure begins.
It would also be really neat to use scales other than pentatonic.
This is fun, but (at least for me) there's awful scratch noise when each note's sound starts playing, which unfortunately doesn't make it enjoyable at all.
Nice idea to provide only notes from a chord! It's really motivating if you never made music before. ("Wow I can do this!")
Would you mind explaining the mechanics of this in more detail? I too was wondering why whatever I did seemed to sound good.

The reason this scale is so popular for this type of music device - "penatatonic sequencers" - is because it's almost impossible to screw up. So you could describe using the pentatonic scale as removing some of the opportunity for making the music more interesting, but in return you almost completely eliminate any opportunity to make it "sound bad". Any note can follow any note in the pentatonic scale, which is why "randomize" or handing it to a child (which is the same thing) works as a creation method.
