How were these built?

All our experiments are all built with freely accessible web technology such as Web Audio API, WebMIDI, Tone.js, and more. These tools make it easier for coders to build new interactive music experiences. You can get the open-source code to lots of these experiments here on Github.

Make sure you have 8 bars--change this in the settings.

Each column (up and down boxes) should only have one sound in it (see picture above).

Change the melodic instrument for a different sound and feel.

Each music letter may be repeated, but the order must be the same.

EXAMPLE: If your name is M U S I C, your letter code is F G E B C--you can repeat the first F before putting in a G, but you must play one G before moving on to E...no skipping letters.

👍: FFFGGGEBB      CCCCCC

👎: FFFEEEBB      CCCCC (missing at least 1 G)

See my example of this using the name M U S I C and the pitch letters F G E B C.
