How do I make the music?
I couldn't figure it out either. Can make single effects with keyboard, but clicking the tiles generated a line but no noticeable effect.

every letter corresponds to a beat! Dashes are spaces between beats! Tweet from either the web-app or from Twitter like so '[dd--dd--ddo---o---o---o] #MMODM'

Good point, it's text based because I miss playing around with text-based interfaces. Other than to please the keyboard junky in me, using Twitter stream API as a part of your system has so many cool benefits...

Please, go ahead! Let there be sound!

#17Looks cool, but I'd be a lot more willing to allow the Twitter integration if I could try the drums out beforehand and see if they're any fun.
Posting something to my Twitter is essentially a recommendation of it, which they're asking me to do without letting me try the thing I'm recommending. Too high of barrier to entry for me, sorry!

What is the vertical line? Why does clicking on a box not turn on/off that box? Is there some other way to turn on a box? Is there some way to generate the "[dd--dd--ddo---o---o---o]" for me, so I don't have to figure out the syntax myself and make sure I have the right length of string? Is there some way outside of twitter to try a string like "[dd--dd--ddo---o---o---o]" to see what it does, before I post it to my friends on Twitter?
I like to think I'm not the average clueless user, but this site really confuses me :) Looks like with a little polish and user testing, it could be fun, though!

right but... how do i know if it's a cool rhythm before tweeting? I don't get how to create something without spamming people with crap.

Agreed, thank you, we're thinking of changing that soon to allow you to practice before tweeting! you can still hear each beat if you type its letter (outside the input text field:p)
