Wintergatan Starmachine 2000 Work in Progress....


Hole punch paper strips Export

Yay! It looks like this melody can be played offline on a 30 note paper strip music box!

All you need to do is:

  1. Get a 30 note DIY Music Box Kit from our online store page if you don't have one
  2. Export the melody to PDF with paper strips, print it out and cut with scissors. Make sure to use the right paper size and set you printer scale to 100%, otherwise the size won't match. It's better when paper strips are thick, so if you are going to use thin office paper, we recommend you to glue two or three layers together. Another option is to laminate paper strips with a transparent duct tape
  3. Punch holes with a tool from the music box kit
  4. Enjoy your favorite melody playing on a real music box!

Argh... music box starts at F not C, that sucks... how do you convert them?

Hehe, yeah, I have the same issue with my music box. Even though they've written C on the paper strip, it was actually a different note. Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything you can do about it, besides accepting the shifted version of the melody. It's especially annoying when you use other instruments together with it. In any case, I'm sorry to hear that. I was hoping, that only a few music boxes have this problem.
