Show HN: Simple way to generate music with cellular automatons

5 pointsby zmitrialmost 12 years ago
At Toronto Music Hack Day I built a simple, yet sleek grid based interface to generate music with cellular automatons. Tap on the grid to add more atoms.<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tap-pad.herokuapp.com<p>It&#x27;s rather beautiful as although the music is random sounding, it&#x27;s actually 100% deterministic.<p>I made a web version and an iPad app. You can also share the state of the grid and share it via link:<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tap-pad.herokuapp.com&#x2F;661621<p>Code is all open-sourced on Github under MIT:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dmitric&#x2F;tap-pad-web<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dmitric&#x2F;tap-pad-ios
