Andreas Gysin had built Kiddysinth with Shockwave in 2001. It is a cute audio toy. Cause I liked it that much I have coded a Flash version with the new Sound API. I want to make it more dynamic in future and add some nice graphics and animations for my daughter. Til then check out the source code to see how it works.

The particles have their own note value, while the wheels affect their octave. Drag them all to alter the melody.

very cool. would love to be able to save the configuration, maybe even assign other notes or sound clips to the nodes. also, the ability to pause the sinners, add fins, shorten or lengthen them and change the spinning speed would be super cool!

I will definitely take care about all this, when it will be part of the Hobnox Audiotool as a cute sequencer unit.

Nice, Andre!

Would love to see this as an iPhone app as well.

Wow! I love this.
I’ve been trying to find out about the FP10 Sound API, so thanks for sharing the source to this. I can’t wait for this and more to be added to the Audiotool.

Don’t understand why jobs says “flash is not up to task for the iphone”. Is he too scared that flash will be too cool for the iphone, that very few developers will program in objective-C?

Is this possible with FP9 and the sound hack method ?

Hi, excuse my ignorance. How do you open this? I created an empty file and published it, thinking it would compile the .as and include them. Nothin happens

beautiful and clever.

nice, check out synth pond

what a work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

It is groovy Dude!!
I like it and I twitted it @ Twitter!!

thank you

Man Man Man!! This is dam-n cool. Just created some nice melody moving the boxes around. You are a kick as-s imaginary machine i have to say.

Beautiful concept. Very Inspiring!

you are a genius!! you should definitely see if you can start selling your apps on i phone, you’d be a millionaire in a week!

i don’t hear anything

not just hearing also feeling:P

Very nice. I am currently preparing a talk about dancers rotating at different speeds and mimicking overtones of a sound… thi is much simpler and yet effective ! Congratulations.

This is a cool website!

Cool!!!!!!! I love this interactive music instruments! :)

I love it! The sound is so relaxing. Sorta reminds me of Bonobo or The Postal Service.

wow. so I have a snare drum sitting in my office, and sure enough it picks up all the vibrations from my tiny Logitech speakers on such a low volume.

very cool stuff, make a touch screen/iphone interface.

you could sell it, and do a online demo to real in people… g’luck with ur future plans!

can somebody tell me how to play this game?
im new here

love it

the 3 axis have 2 diferent rotating speed, so it would be nice if all of them rotate with the same speed, or either 3 different velocities. (in every disposition)
Another posibility wold be that the speed varied along all the board. (experimental)
:) nice game by the way!

will these toys be added to the hobnox audiotool at some time soon? As they are all wonderful and would love to create something with these plug-ins.

so simple and so nice!

beautiful and good clean fun. Immense potential. Hope you get to spend more time in the Lab.

Beautiful, and completely addicting.

something public?

this is amazing, I just stumbled on this while looking up a browser based sequencer for fun, congratulations and excellent job making all of these you should be proud

my buddy just sent me this and your tone matrix… both are amazing! you are a genius. thank you for sharing this. is there a way i can save a tone i make on tone matrix? custom ring tone!

Can’t decide if this or the tone matrix are better. Whatever -they’re both great!

just amazing, its a rediscovery of the beautiful random-ness of sound and image ! can’t wait for a vst version of any of your flash tools.

KOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very love this.

Thank you.

Michelle is a genius, I like the tonewheels game.

It is incredible. I will try to experiment the melody

Very well beautifully creatively also it is competently made, interesting sound generators! Good fellows, thanks))

hey stupid game my name is really shutup u want to no why cause this game makes a lot of nosie

Wow. Love it. I love the steady bass of the two spoke spinner compared to the weird multiple tones of the five spoke wheel. Could play with this for hours. Just wait till my kids find it! :-) Thanks.

Reminds me of the cut scenes from the recent Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie. Also on the DVD home menu for the film. Very cool :-)

its amazing thanks

I like buiscuts

I am learning math from a musical computer program! Makes me think of hearing about how they are now using synths to explore the universe in a fraction of the time it would take us, and how there’s a black hole that generated a B flat 57 octaves below middle C.

i dont like it as much as the other ones!!

Definitivamente, me gusta. Y lo voy a poner de favorito. Lastima y no tiene un Botón de google+ sino le daría un 1+
