Wow! Amazing job, I could really use this to create some tunes, I miss music making. I wish it had an "export to file" function.
I hope to add a MIDI export soon. If you want audio, I think you could record the playback directly into a DAW.

Wow that's fascinating. Maybe I could add similar visualizations at some point. Thanks for sharing that!

#74Nice. This made me think of Conway's Game of Life so I made a little mashup of a tone matrix with GoL. https://matthewbilyeu.com/tone-of-life.html
This is fun, but would be even better if you could randomly seed it or have some starting default. Cool quick demo!
I see Random button, but maybe that it was just added after your comment. Thanks to you both if so.

#75This is probably the use case you least expected to hear, but the first thing i thought of when playing with this is how useful it could be in helping make progress when learning jazz improvisation. Typically when you're learning improv, you're figuring out what scales work with which chords in which parts of the harmony. Normally you'd start with something like 'xxx liked to use the half-whole diminished scale when…
That's so cool! I'm glad it inspired you to accomplish what you have been putting off for ages. I do think an alternative and more visual/tactile experience can help some people approach music from a different prospective they might be accustomed to. There's definitely room for improvement. If you have any specific suggestions for your use case please let me know. Thanks for checking it out!
I had a think about it as I was writing that comment, and honestly, all I think you're missing is tap tempo. That's it. I thought that maybe the ability to set a different scale for each of the four different instruments would be cool, but I'm not sure that it wouldn't complicate the UX too much. Tap tempo, though, would be useful and I imagine fairly easy to implement.

Great idea! Thanks I'm adding a tap-tempo to my list.

Is it a 2d convolution?

This would be a cool instrument in BespokeSynth
