A browser music toy turns drawings into performances by six virtual musicians, with MIDI import and export.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The canvas maps physical drawing gestures to musical parameters: vertical position controls pitch, while stroke thickness affects strength. Six musician slots can inherit existing traces when their sounds change, and imported MIDI tracks are distributed among those slots before becoming drawable marks. The interface documents local browser saving, touch and keyboard operation, multiple scales, accompaniment, effects, and exports to MIDI or WAV. Exported MIDI preserves notes and pitch changes rather than rendered audio.
