BeepBox is an online tool for sketching and sharing instrumental melodies.

All song data is contained in the URL at the top of your browser. When you make changes to the song, the URL is updated to reflect your changes. When you are satisfied with your song, just copy and paste the URL to save and share your song!

BeepBox is a passion project, and will always be free to use. If you find it valuable and have the means, any gratuity via would be appreciated!

Instructions

You can add or remove notes by clicking on the gray rows at the top. BeepBox automatically plays the notes out loud for you. Try it!

Notes go into patterns, and you can edit one pattern at a time. Those numbered boxes at the bottom of the editor are the different patterns you can edit. Click the other boxes to move to a different part of the song, or click the arrows on the currently selected box to swap which pattern is played during that part of the song.

BeepBox can play several rows of patterns simultaneously, and each row has its own set of patterns. Most rows can play melodies or harmonies, but the bottom row is for drums.

The purple loop underneath the numbered boxes controls which part of the song is currently repeating. Move the loop to listen to a different part of the song, or drag the ends to expand the loop to include the whole song.

When BeepBox has focus (click on its interface above), you can use these keyboard shortcuts:

Spacebar: play or pause the song

Z: undo

Y or Shift Z: redo

C: copy pattern from selection

V: paste pattern into selection

1-8: assign a pattern number to selection

Arrows: move selection

[ ]: move playhead backward or forward

Shift & Drag: select part of a pattern (long press on touch screen)

Check BeepBox's edit menu for more!

In the note pattern editor, you can click and drag horizontally on a note to adjust its duration. You can also click above or below an existing note to add more notes to be played simultaneously, which is called a chord.

ADVANCED: Drag vertically from an existing note to bend its pitch, or drag vertically from above or below the note to adjust its volume. Drag on the numbered pattern boxes to select multiple patterns to copy and paste parts of your song.

BeepBox has many more features. Try playing with the buttons and menus on the right side to find out what it can do! You can also click on the label next to each option for a description of what it does.

Check out some of these songs that other people have posted on Twitter! If you find something you like, you should let the creator know! And if you see any beginners asking for advice, maybe you can help them!

Sequencing with Simon

Sequencing games sharpen our ability to remember the order of events-a fundamental skill in comprehending what you read and hear.Your job is to focus your attention to correctly replay each sequence.

As you will notice, the melodies you hear are randomly generated each time you play, so you can't "learn" the game. The only way to successfully make it to the next level is to carefully look and listen.

When you play my Simon Game, you practice this skill by hearing the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 8th notes of the "C" Major Scale.

These pitches are used in many of the songs you already know. For example, click the buttons on the left to play the beginning of the Star Spangled Banner: Oh - Say Can You See ; or the Limbo Rock: Ev-ery lim-bo boy and girl ; or Rock Around the Clock; One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock, Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock, rock, Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, rock, etc.

Notice how the buttons light up and play the four pitches. Listen carefully to the sound of each button-doing this will help you remember the sequences. When you're ready to play, begin by pressing START.
