Very interesting. Now to find the time to toy with it
:squidmusicLT: What a fun digital toy! Thanks, Grif. :squid_musicRT:
That is a very interesting little toy! :D
I only wish I could record the tinkering, I'd love to make my own cellphone signals with that!
Thank you Griffin!
The first time I tried it, it wasn't loading for me, now if finally did.

A marimba tone in a pentatonic scale, 16 beats for a pre-made minimalistic tool.
I wonder what Terry Riley, John Adams and Steve Reich would think of it...

Fantastic idea.
Wonder if you could record it via your microphone if you have one with your pc/laptop.
EDIT
yes, this works, using windows sound recorder, start->programs->accessories->sound recorder
record and then save
ideally it then needs putting through sound enhancer to get it clean and loud enough - download a freebie sound editor which should be adequate if you don't have one
I've been playing with this for 20 minutes now. Please help me! :mrgreen:
One of many songs I played with (http://tonematrix.audiotool.com/_/10h.0.212.0.14h.0.212.424.8.4.0.81.0.282.1a00.124). I really wish I could have many many more columns. It makes me want one of those music maker programmes.
I made aa very crude ringtone for when texts arrive on my cell phone. Despite putting it through a music programme, it was impossible to remove all the "noise", "reverbs" etc. Still it's kind of cute.
I like your tune.
Thanks, Griffin. It needs something over the top of it, as it's really just a melody maker. Did you save the links to any of your songs?
No didn't save. :(
Made a strange discovery. If you add characters on the end of your link address, or even characters in the middle, it still loads your tune. I had to change ".com" bit to get a page not found. (I was trying to preserve the link address in the browser address bar to save coming back here and did not want the tune playing until I was ready........and I can't see a way of switching the sound off (other than for the whole laptop)).
Wow, finally updated flash... it's incredibly well suited to producing polyrhythms.
The first one I put together:
http://tonematrix.audiotool.com/_/1081.g02.8gk.408.28i.110.i1.c0.gc0.i0.110.24g.n08.1c44.i02.1o41
The stripped down version:
http://tonematrix.audiotool.com/_/0.0.g.0.2.0.1.0.g00.0.0.40.j00.1440.200.o40
Polyrhythms II:

Polyrhythms III (Baka Groove):
http://tonematrix.audiotool.com/_/100g.ila.192a.805.4la.1a8g.i00.15a.1aia.4g5.9a.1akg.h40.2a.an5.149a
I imagine if you played around with this enough, you could add and subtract tiles to play a live composition.

The host site has a larger online app. Looks utterly boggling to me, but probably worth a poke at:

Couldn't get the hang of the audio tool. I like your first tune best Aggie.
The third one has this banjo-like sound running through it, but I can't isolate it to a narrow range of rows. It seems to be an effect of overlaying the middle 8 - 10 rows. It's the sound that reminds me of Baka music.
