Hint You can right click and select Copy and Paste to save and restore your compositions.

I made a Mac clone of this as a weekend project a while back. You can adjust tempo and use different scales: http://fileability.net/downloads/Neo_a9.zip (requires 10.6)

I like the clone. Fun to play around with, and it's definitely weird visualizing music with the chromatic scale in a format like this.

Game of Life psuedo-easter egg was also nifty.

The game of life makes it a killer app!

That was oddly addictive.

I've got a Monome and Ableton Live and can do similar with a nice hardware interface and output midi to any of my synths around here- but I've never have tried doing that if it wasn't for this app.

tricky2• 16 years ago

Thanks for the Monome reference. Never heard of it till today. Now a friend of mine wants one bad.

tibbon2• 16 years ago

If you can't get ahold of one, check out the Arduinome which is an open source clone of it and operates exactly the same for all practical purposes. Korg and Akai have also made some similar commercial things recently that fit into this market.

This is a great game, its fun and odd what you seem to come up with.

Little Boots had a hardware interface like this at SXSW 2008 she used to build up a song live. It was very cool. Here's a link:

My daughter (5 years old) loves this. Of course sometimes she ends up with one solid block of lit blocks and I unwedge it for her - but she plays with it for 20 minutes at a time. Right up there with "hot games for girls"!

You can clear them all at once by pressing the spacebar.

It seems to be unable to produce dissonance. How does it avoid that?

Edit: I think it's pentatonic.

That's pretty cool. Others might be interested in a project I'm working on called Syzygryd: http://www.syzygryd.com/

Syzygryd is an interactive art piece that features three grid sequencers that track each others' state. I plan to post something to the main HackerNews site once development is further along.
