UPD Jun 28: I've just released a new version with the web interface, so you no longer need to know how to use command line interface apps to build your own drum.
Greetings, I've been searching for a couple of days now to no avail. There is this tune by the alias "1805 swiss snuff music box: traditional music box", which has no actual name accredited to it. Can you identify what the original composition/song is? Lunk: [suspicious link]
Im a new music box composer and Ive been loving using my kikkerland music box, but lately, I noticed some weird squeaking sounds whenever i wind it up. Whenever I play a song, the wind up mechanism also seem to be a bit cranky, and not too smooth as it was when I first got it, causing a few stops in my music playing.
The sound is all and well though, and as far as ive noticed, there's nothing out of the ordinary, its just the squeaking and cranking stops that's out of place. Can anyone help me with this? Many thanks! I really love making music box pieces, and it would mean the world if you guys can assist me with this. 💕
I am in the middle of a project - i am trying to build a jewellery music box for the woman in leu of my own heart.
Anyways... so I wanted to have my music box mechanism play MCR's smash 2004 hit "Helena" and I have luckily found some genius on this website that has it uploaded.
HOWEVER, i am actually quite thick and I dont understand how to punch in the holes on the score, by using the MIDI score attached to the file on this website.
For reference, my music score sheets for the machine (30 note) goes like this (in chronological order)
C D G A B C1 D1 E1 F1 F#1 G1 G#1 A1 A#1 B1 C#2 C2 (yes they are the other way round this time) D#2 D2 E2 F2 F#2 G2 G#2 A2 A#2 B2 C3 D3 E3
I am having an issue with the sound on the website. I can hear songs that others have written in the Explore section, but when I want to work on a draft I've created, no sound. The same when I try to start a new song. It was working last night when I was originally creating my draft. I've left the site and come back with the same problem. Then it somehow started working again (though I don't know what I did to make that happen), and now the sound is gone again. I think I clicked on another tab in my browser (Safari on a Mac) and then came back to my song draft tab and the sound had stopped. The file plays, just no sound. The fact that I can hear other's compositions on this website, but not my own seems very strange. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I've created and imported a MIDI file, the importer is defaulting to Grand Illusions 30 scale. When I switch to the Grand Illusions 30 (F Scale) I'm losing some notes that aren't in that scale. However, I've written the MIDI file to match the available notes for the F scale. Is there any way to make the F scale the default melody type when importing a MIDI file?
Fix the Beats is an app that automatically arranges the notes in a MIDI file within the range of your instrument. Its default mode is for the 30 note music box in F scale. It even annotates the MIDI file, so that you can review the changes in a score writer software!
Here are some interesting links in text format, as it gave "suspicious link" if I entered them normally: You can find the app at the following link: triple "w" (dot) speakthebeats (dot) com/FixTheBeats/ Here is an instructions video on YouTube: triple "w" (dot) youtube (dot) com/watch?v=O4FZk1XRNpc
The audio track in the video was created using Fix the Beats. It is based on The Well-Tempered Clavier, Prelude 2 by J. S. Bach, arranged for playing on a 30 note music box in F scale.
