| ARGH How do I resolve to major????

| Also, can't figure out how to play the lick

| Reminds me of Mikutap: https://aidn.jp/mikutap/

| Oh my god this is the best thing ever. I want to save this as

| That was awesome! I really want to make something like this

| the tempo.
| screye wrote:
| This was incredibly fun. I just spent 10 minutes making what

| kanobo wrote:
| Sounds nice, I like the minimalist look. But I think it would be
| a giant leap if the music was somehow related to what is being
| typed. Also it took a while to load, it could use a loading
| progress indicator -- I thought it was broken and was opening it
| in different browsers thinking Safari wasn't supported.

| No Android, unfortunately.

| Why does it not work?

| Ha very cool! I like that punctuation marks add some flair.
| christiansakai wrote:
| I press the same letter on a keyboard and it just makes some jazz

| jimwhite wrote:
| This is great. Would love to be able to enable this on my
| keyboard for typing everything as a bit of an upgrade over my
| super clicky mechanical keyboard.
| ralmeida wrote:
| Nice touch that deleting letters descends chromatically. Letters
| typed appear unrelated to notes generated, you can type the same
| letter and it will keep generating different notes.
|
| Also, it seems it will never resolve to the root, no matter what
| you type :(
| luckydata wrote:
| Never give any satisfaction to the listener, no matter what,
| pretty much the most important rule of high brow jazz.
| zoytek wrote:
| Love it.. I reckon I could write an EP for listening to on the
| way to work!

| I want this as a VSCode or Vim extension!
| danonino wrote:
| Jazz in Hacker News. Should I submit something about reggaeton
| next? This is getting RIDICULOUS. Gimme the old HN back!
| forgetcolor wrote:
| This is mostly just using the keyboard to manipulate the
| rhythm/time performance of a pre-configured score. Interesting,
| but not what most would think of as jazz improvisation.
| hammock wrote:
| Not exactly. It is far more random than that. As far as I can
| tell, it plays random notes from a pre-loaded scale -
| occasionally chords, and punctuation marks play chords.
| Backspace plays a descending scale.
|
| The aesthetics of it, including typography and sounds are very
| nice.
|
| And typing () leads to a special easter egg :)

| That's the case in "Free Form" mode.
|
| If you click the eight note with a plus next you get pre-
| configured scores that you can just manipulate the rhythm on.

| In network inspector you can find midi files that can be

| this is great. The Kohl concert is hard to type at the right pace

| mortenjorck wrote:

| disillusioned wrote:
| Was just trying it. You have to try to guess where the
| interstitial notes will appear...
| foodigger wrote:
| yeah your practically Miles Davis, without talent.

| This wins the day. How do I jam multiple instruments?

| I need this as an emacs mode. Would make coding feel different
