This is really fun! I do wish I could adjust the intervals and/or change the key. Everything I make sounds like 90s JRPG music.

Slightly OT. It seems like there is an uptick in music production-related posts on HN lately. Which is awesome. Has it always been like this and I'm just now noticing? Or, if it is a recent phenomenon, do we think it's because folks are trying to connect more with arts, in light of everything going on? Anyway, this is very cool and I'm happy to see it!

It might come and go, but I find it to be pretty consistent. There is, in my experience, a strong overlap between hackers/computer scientists and musicians; for one anecdotal example, Donald Knuth is an accomplished organ player. https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/organ.html

I hope Dr. Knuth is a registered organ donor.

I like this one. It has a nice rhythm to it, like a chase scene in an 8-bit video game.

+1 I really love the rhythm and think whether it can be saved for later use? I can't find any download button, ymmmmm

The plural of anecdote is not data and all that but COVID resulted in me buying a midi keyboard and I’ve been learning Ableton live. (And messing about with the idea of using a midi input device to control batch jobs)

The plural of anecdote is data. You just need to know that your anecdotes are reasonably trustworthy.
