@montyjones We have created blocks that extend the music capabilities of Snap! We're using the blocks to explore music. Here's a short video illustrating the way that we're using them in an art & music class:
This version is in a Snap! extension called TuneScope, but in the near future we're hoping to make the blocks available in a music library that can be accessed from Snap! 7.
If anyone else is using code to explore music, we would be interested in how you are approaching it.
I have a suggestion. Since you let the user type a note duration, it would be great if the user could type in a number for the note duration (like the primitive play note blocks). It allows for even more flexibility. It's actually a simple change, just do this
Could you make a simple tutorial for it, so I can figure out how to make something of my own? Might mod the blocks and make new ones once I get a good feel for them.
We have found that users would like us to put together a sequencer (similar to commercial sequencers) as a front end to expedite construction of melodies. We are in the process of considering potential ways in which a user interface might be constructed to facilitate generation of note sequences.
