This really needs a "flashing lights" warning, even better a toggle to disable or tone down the background color shifting.

This is an awesome way to spend a few minutes!

So cool. One of these days I really have got to learn Tone.js.

Pretty cool!

(I would still put a flashing lights alert somewhere. If you scroll horizontally rapidly it gets stroboscopic very fast).

I'm an arpeggio fiend. I could easily and gladly live without ever hearing another beat again, though I could tolerate the tablas I suppose... but melody is what I need. My keyboard skills are crippled and I don't even have one, my classical guitar is stagnant, and I use Linux, so electronic music production is forbidden. What to do?

I guess I'll play the cube until I can get AI to render an infinite variation/s of Toccata and Fugue in some unknown perfect tone.

Have you tried LMMS? It's not my favorite, but being 100% free and self contained (seq, fx, instruments) it's easier to install and get going with it even on an old laptop.

I did. And spent a lot of time with it (and other stuff) using (or trying to use) a midi keyboard. I remember being thrilled to find it. Then the jack/alsa/pulse war began and when that came to an end, it was endless latency. Then there was the fruitless hunt for quality samples and other rabit holes.

Being not of extraordinary intelligence, I always worked more than played, by girthy margins. I gave up.

Loads of music production opportunities on Linux! Reaper (which I use, albeit in Windows), Bitwig, Ardour, Renoise (which, as a tracker, may be more approachable for Devs), and more besides! And there's always CMusic (with various bindings, including Python) if you want something more akin to a sketchpad/algorithmic system...

If I went awol from Linux, I'd give abelton a go, but I won't. Now that pulse and alsa seem dead (forgot name of new substitute), at least in Debian, I might pursue some of these.

Hello fellow arp fiend. What I did: Go full hardware with a Squarp Pyramid or Hapax sequencer. Then stack multiple Arpeggiator effects on a channel to a MIDI synthesizer. Wire up the touch pad x/y axis to control some of the arp parameters or modulate them with an LFO. Get crazy, yo.

As a bumbling occasionally drooling dilettante with exquisite ears, I wonder if I'm capable of figuring this out. Seems a hopeful route otherwise .
