This is a fun way to make music and when I showed my DH who plays the guitar I could hardly drag him away. The high notes are on top and the lower notes are at the bottom. After you get all your music squares chosen you can click on the guitar choice at the bottom and it will play like a guitar. Check it out, it's pretty cool.

A simple music-maker

Music is complicated. Dozens of elements mix together to form something amazing. Or, horrendous.

Download the Show!That complexity is what makes music so great. It's also what makes it so hard to compose.

Electronic music allows some of that complexity to be stripped away. That is the basis for the Tone Matrix.

This simple flash program is a 16 x 16 grid of squares. Click the squares to trigger tones. Click again to stop the tones. Up and down determines the pitch. Left and right determines when the tone plays.

The program loops at a steady tempo. Pitches are confined to a pentatonic scale, so the sound is nice. Click and drag to select multiple squares. Press space to start over.

No music knowledge is required :[img]http:///c
