I love that, easy and simple interface. Straight forward creation with nice sound. Fantastic music toy to play with. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=%252F%252F8AAAAA%2…

https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=BAAgAAAAAAAgARAAAA… love it

Great tool! I like how easy it is to a make song with just vertical nd horizontal lines https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=ABEAMQAh%252F%252F…

My new alarm clock. On a sidetone it would be great to export as a audio file https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=gCEQAIggBACAkQAAgC…

https://www.maxlaumeister.com/ My personal site has programming, music, blog articles, fiction and more. It has an achievement system, a guestbook, a retro games section, and a ton of little knickknacks and easter eggs I've added over the years! I recently drew and added a mascot, the bird-fox. The whole site is based on a custom Jekyll theme.

I wasn't actually talking about any specific app. I'm not a musician, and while I've touched Live/FLStudio, most of my experience is just with toy ones on the web. I've seen dozens over the years with various level of complexity, but the one I remember the most vividly was a flash one called Tone Matrix, here's a non-flash remake: https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/ Honestly just clicking random squares, adding and removing as you go can great unlimited good sounding patterns.

> That would be really bad business practices According to stories I read, there's some dark stuff going on at Youtube, e.g. [1], discussion [2]. So I wouldn't be surprised if they'd downrank or delete your channel if you start linking to external video sites. (Note: I have no personal experience with this).

https://www.maxlaumeister.com/blog/google-is-deleting-your-favorite-yo… has some, but anyone who's been following it knows it's happening beyond that. I am surprised that infinitesoup is apparently unaware of these issues given his account on HN is 591 days old and over it's history has posted about absolutely nothing but YouTube. Indeed an account on Reddit called infinitesoup, possibly unrelated I concede, has wall-to-wall comments on YouTube too. They all read like a superfan or possibly an employee of Google providing support. The usual etiquette on HN is to simply disclose an interest and then argue a point. While it's not against the rules I don't like having to do my own research and finding out the person posting links from Google support is likely a Google employee (the person connected with the Reddit account seems to be a Google employee, maybe this guy isn't). Even if they are different accounts and this guy isn't a Google employee they haven't presented any other credible evidence for this wonderful support anyway. They have only presented a policy aspiration. Google is not Amazon; Google is notorious for bad customer support. Our prior belief for "will YouTube provide good support" shouldn't be very high given they are part of Google. Therefore it doesn't take many data points in the direction of poor support to confirm that. There are clear and sometimes good reasons for what Google does, it's a great company with competent employees but let's…

Hello world https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=ADg%252BGAg4DgAAMB…

https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AIGAAAAEIEAAAYCAIA… I like how it’s possible to make something that feels polyphonic even though there’s only one note playing at a time. (there are a couple time steps where I broke this constraint, but it’s the overall effect I was aiming for.)

Dope. I cannot stop playing with this. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAIAIAAAAEBYAAAAAB… https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AUggAAAIAUgACgAAAU… Gimme my flat5!

I’m having too much fun with this. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAAGggIRACAMggABBg… and https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=SAJZDglYMUJIBgQMZF…

Something similar from a few years back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23512297 Morning coffee noodle: https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAAAtUgCIgAAAFBAIA…

Here's a fun one: https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AEEgCAQBIIAEEACCQB… If I try very hard, I can focus on it as a single rising series of pitches. But otherwise, I here it more as a sixteen step repeating arpeggio.

Might have just stumbled onto a pleasant-sounding, neutrally-styled ringtone. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=AAAAAAgAAIAABAAAAg…

Nice https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=QBAEhEAAAABAIAAAIA…

Could be useful as an alarm. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=gEFAQqAEkAIIAQQCBk…

Cute, could do with a bit more variety of sounds and sequencing abilities. https://www.maxlaumeister.com/tonematrix/?v=1&d=gAEAAAAIAAAHhAAAgB…

While it wasn't perfect, I really enjoyed the brief existence of Tribes Ascend. It makes me hopeful someone else is going to pick up the genre, maybe even the license. Hi-Rez certainly weren't a good fit for the game. I'll know better than to spend money on anything they're doing in the future.[1] [1]: https://www.maxlaumeister.com/articles/rip-tribes-ascend/
