Program Your Music With This Online Sequencer
In the 80s, the turtle taught children to program using the educational programming language Logo . The turtle.audio browser-based music sequencer now combines Logo and Mario Paint so you can program synth loops.
Turtle.audio is less intuitive than many other online music toys because some programming principles are involved. Unlike sequencers like Google Song Maker , where all of your music tracks follow the same timeline, Turtle.audio works in 2D. Black dots, like the moving turtle in the logo, follow programmed paths, playing every color note they strike. The same note can lie on the paths of different points, which encourages users to synchronize their points into pleasant additional melodies.
MetaFilter users have made some nice tunes on turtle.audio, including this Undertale loop from NMcCoy and this Aeon Flux sound factory loop from bongo_x pictured above.
They also showed the Internet music generator connoisseur the difference between a reliable music sequencer and a simple toy: anything you create with a toy sounds good because your other capabilities have been taken away from you. But with a reliable sequencer like turtle.audio you can do terrible shit.
For example, I messed up a lovely mesh by the MetaFilter user codacorolla and twisted it like this: turn off your headphones .
Now that I’ve set the bar low, go and make some music.
