A basic prototype for an alternative instrument involving a rolling ball.

Some quality of life and other features are currently missing.

I hope to continue to improve this concept in the future.

Basic tutorial:

  • Objects from the top bar can be placed on the canvas. 
  • Note objects in the bar can be double clicked to sharpen them (does not apply to pitches B and E).
  • When a note object is placed, it can be changed or deleted when clicking on it (without anything else selected. Items can be quickly deselected with right click).
  • The ball object will move continuously to the right when pressing the start button, any notes it collides with will fill it in a pie chart-like effect, based on the length given to the note.
  • The track tool will create a collide-able line that the ball can follow.
  • When a note slice collides with the track, it will play the designated note.
  • The draw tool is purely visual and will not impact the ball.
  • The trash can icon will clear the entire screen (there is no confirmation right now, sorry)
  • The floppy disk will save all current items and lines in the scene, the icon below it will load whatever was last saved.
