I like the beautiful design finish of Tones.fm https://www.tones.fm/

Tones.fm is incredibly well done. However I suspect that, compared to this, the additional complexity creates a bit more hesitation for visitors to actually start playing with it. And the demos, while great, also paradoxically reduce the likelihood that the average visitor will actually play with it (it's more tempting to just listen to the demos and call it a day). Maybe the ideal compromise would start off like Music Grid here, but also have additional features subtly hidden but easily accessible.

When somebody ask me how to pronounce my username: https://music-grid.surge.sh/#384-320-128-0-384-64-384-64-384... EDIT: I don't know anything about music but... wouldn't it make sense to run left-to-right instead of top-to-down?

My guess is that it makes more sense on a smartphone to continue down than right ?

What scale is this? It’s major, but no seventh tone...?

B C# F# G# C# D# E G# B C# F# G# Based off what I hear here: https://music-grid.surge.sh/#0-0-0-1025-1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128... One might assume it's B Major with no 7th, but I think it sounds more like C# Minor/Dorian with no 6th.

Would be awesome if it had a selector to change the mode while keeping the same grid selections.

Thank you to the creator of this! I am actually working on a hardware version of a sound grid similar to this! I was inspired by a much older version of this which was written in Flash and doesn't work too well (there is also a 5 year old Android app [1]). It's awesome to have something which actually works on a modern phone. My idea for a sound block toy is similar but instead of having a grid it's a line of blocks…

Something like the Polyend Seq sequencer or (if you want to include sound) the Synthstrom Audible Deluge?

If you're talking about Tone Matrix, I ported it to JavaScript to work on modern browsers and phones.

Check it out if you're so inclined:
