Create Your Own Original Ringtones With Google Song Maker
On Thursday, Google launched a new browser-based music sequencer that allows users to simultaneously write and produce songs, as well as create their own simple jams using Chrome.
Called the Song Maker, it’s essentially a basic sequencer grid where you can add things like pianos, woodwinds, strings, and many different drum effects to create your own unique jam. Everything only works on your computer, but if you are ambitious, you can also connect a MIDI keyboard or microphone.
You can also adjust parameters such as tempo, as well as scale, octave range, and beats per measure. It’s easy enough to use that a child might like it, but it offers some complications that adults might like.
The finished product can be saved for your personal enjoyment, or sent to a friend for them to complete (or correct your mistake, if you are me).
If you are trapped this weekend by the Nor’easter and looking for something to do, then this is a fun waste of time.
If you like Song Maker, there are a number of other options to try. My favorite is Pixelsynth , which plays music based on the images you draw on the screen.
