February 1, 2011 at 11:33 amLooks exactly like an Arduinome. Cool stuff.

February 1, 2011 at 11:37 amOk… This is officially my favorite post on this blog
Dave says:
February 1, 2011 at 11:39 amThis is awesome… and brings up an interesting subject: Flash. Everyone seems to be talking up HTML5, but I’m pretty sure even if you can do this in HTML5 (which I don’t think you can) it would be way harder. Long live Flash.
Ryan says:
February 1, 2011 at 11:40 amHighly excellent. Follow the link, awesome videos there too.

February 1, 2011 at 11:41 amdo you want me to be unproductive at work?
Jakub says:
February 1, 2011 at 11:44 am@Chris muahahahaha thats our mission statement at ISO50 “making you unproductive at work since …whenever Scott started this site”
also new goal, comments beating out the “likes”

Mark says:

Jo says:
February 1, 2011 at 12:25 pmTenori-on?
peter says:
February 1, 2011 at 12:29 pmIt started all here: http://www.audiotool.com/
Jörg says:
February 1, 2011 at 12:34 pmyes, it was developed a while ago (like, two years?) by André Michelle, who also built the amazing AudioTool.

CHESTER says:
February 1, 2011 at 1:15 pmThis is fun. You should run a music contest though! That’s what I thought this was.
thomas says:
February 1, 2011 at 1:42 pm14 steps instead of 16? sure? ;)
Kirk says:
February 1, 2011 at 1:51 pmI haven’t seen this for a while, always get hooked when i do though. The trick is to get multiple going on different tabs, then it starts getting complex
donewithcaps says:
February 1, 2011 at 1:59 pmyeah tenori-on :)
donewithcaps says:
February 1, 2011 at 2:06 pmalso reminds me of I Am Robot and Proud
Little Mega says:
February 1, 2011 at 2:12 pmThis is my ticket to electronic stardom! But my roommates obviously don’t appreciate my genius…
Mogalike says:
February 1, 2011 at 2:25 pmThis is too much! You’re brilliant Scott. Like you all the way!
DaemonFranxO. says:
February 1, 2011 at 2:32 pmIsn’t this Melodica? I have this app on my iPod :D
Andrew says:
February 1, 2011 at 2:50 pmI love this! I wish there was a way to take a snapshot of what you create and share it.

February 1, 2011 at 3:00 pmamazing! addictive! refreshing! (and matches the rain outside perfectly…hmm.)
Chip Hultin says:
February 1, 2011 at 5:34 pmYeah! Daedelus steeze
Pablo Sotomayor says:
February 1, 2011 at 5:54 pmI’ve played with it in several platforms… web, iphone… love it. I had to play and record it since you did it, but I’m afraid I overdid it and ended up layering some instruments over and turned it into a whole song… which defeats the minimalist purpose… but it’s here, just have to click on my name. :)
Matt Lundstrom says:
February 1, 2011 at 6:07 pmYou really should be linking to the original. Andre’s site is full of Flash audio toys.

Danielle says:
February 1, 2011 at 6:08 pmthis is DOPE!
Kyle says:
February 1, 2011 at 6:15 pmYep, this was done a while back by Andre Michelle, an absolute wizard with Flash & audio tools. This unfortunately looks like an uncredited ripoff of his original :(
Jasmin says:
February 1, 2011 at 6:25 pmthis is great! lov
Vale says:
February 1, 2011 at 7:40 pmtried a gadget like this live once, it was fun.
Steve says:
February 1, 2011 at 8:44 pmThat’s pretty sweet. I’m so musically lacking but this is actually pretty fun.
Ryan says:

If you are susceptible to photosensitive epileptic shock, I would not suggest attempting to light up all the boxes… it does get pretty intense.
Probably not a good idea for regular people either – like staring into the sun
Spencer says:
February 1, 2011 at 10:32 pmGreat. Now i cant do my homework
:D
NAVIS says:
February 1, 2011 at 10:52 pmI have an app like this for my iPod Touch and it was fun to play while sitting in Mongolia somewhere. Yay for efficient time wasters!
Jonny says:
February 2, 2011 at 1:33 amAMAZING. I swear I’ve seen this online somewhere before, but now I know exactly where to find it :)
Thanks Jakub
Lucas says:
February 2, 2011 at 2:42 am@Navis: What’s that app called?
SirStirup says:
February 2, 2011 at 3:53 amI’ve always wanted to find out what sound Space Invaders would make.

February 2, 2011 at 5:23 amReminds me of TonePad, an iPhone app which does the same.
Adam says:
February 2, 2011 at 7:23 amNice, this is like a digital version of a Bliptronic 5000

Marcos says:
February 2, 2011 at 7:30 amIt’s fantastic! I liked very much!
Brad Conrad says:
February 2, 2011 at 8:06 amFun. It’s interesting how there are only 14 steps but it “waits” the length of 2 steps so it ends up being 4/4 time.
Simon says:
February 2, 2011 at 8:46 am@Brad Conrad
That’s because there ARE 16 steps, it’s just that ISO50 crops the frame so that they’re hidden. Click through the link to have them all visible.
Anyway, as others have said, here’s the original: http://lab.andre-michelle.com/tonematrix
Don’t support ripoffs.
golukas says:
February 2, 2011 at 10:46 amclap! clap!, thanks a lot Jakub, genius stuff : )
So, how exactly can i get the record about.
And someone said there is an app of this for the iPhone, wich is that?
Sorry the english hehe.
Cheers!!
mg33 says:
February 2, 2011 at 4:53 pmOK, Pretty much badass. Never seen anything like this. The actual tones being used here are PERFECT. It’s soothing, smooth, and anyone who makes electronic could incorporate this in so many ways. Really really awesome.

February 7, 2011 at 11:43 pmThis is so much fun.
There are a few squares not visible in the post though.
Right click and select- “show all” to view the rest of them.
bonehead says:
February 8, 2011 at 7:20 pmhold down ctl-opt-cmd and click on a square.
Olivier says:
February 15, 2011 at 12:35 amgood fun.
Beatwave is the free app that’s pretty darn fun for sounds like this (for those that are asking) got a few more sounds/controls (reverb!) to play with too :)
