About the Game

TonoTone is designed to be an easy to understand, reasonable first approach to modular synthesis while still bringing new experiences for seasoned composers. This cockpit style synthesizer offers full wrap-around interaction that makes for an immersive music composition experience. This synthesizer is also designed to provide the relevant frequencies to use for different scales, allowing for intricate theorized melodies or freeflow jam sessions!

Features

  • Generators - Choose from 12 different waveforms and see how your modulations affect the wave shape in real time.

  • Envelopes - Envelopes are shaped via four points of control to allow for easy adjustment and customization.

  • Sequencers - The GatorGroover is an 8 step sequencer that, when paired together, allows for polyrhythms. The bottom row of teeth controls how many beats are in a measure (or sequence) while the top row of teeth toggles each step on/off. 

  • Patch Matrix - Presented as the Ice Cream Parlor section of TonoTone, ice cream cones store sequencer data and can be plugged into an array of channels. Sequencers can be wired into these channels via the tubs of ice cream to play a composed string of sequences. Play with different channels and cone variations to explore new patterns and harmonies with your own melodies.
