Hello guys ,

The explore part is broken ?

Best regards.

I present you my app to generate 3d model of a music box drum with your custom music.

You can export MIDI directly from MBM and create your custom music boxes!

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.

**Title: Why did you learn to adapt music box songs?**

What motivated you to start adapting your own music box songs, and what was the biggest obstacle when you began?

If you had access to a clear step-by-step guide, course or community to help you learn, would that have been useful to you?

I’d love to hear your experience, whether you’re just starting or have been arranging songs for years.

I’ve been trying to find a good/easy way to increase the volume of a wall mounted mechanism for use in a gallery context. Currently I have the mech screwed to a wooden box, which in turn is secured to the wall. Would adding sound holes improve the volume further? Any suggestions about preferred resonator design/materials? In testing surfaces I tried holding the mech against a large chambered door and it sounded fantastic - but that’s not an option in the gallery space.

Hello there, I would like to share a little project I am working on. It's a digital paper music box that plays 15-note paper strips using an internal synth and can also send MIDI to play external instruments.

Search Wee noise makers Punch, Feed, Play on Youtube for a quick demo :)

Cheers,

Dear maniacs, :)

I would like to convert an song into a melodie box song. Does someone has a clear step-by-step plan how to do this?

What I found by myself is that I first have to convert the mp3 to a midi. And then I can try it to convert in an DAW with an music box vst eg.?

Can somebody help me please? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I create custom music box melodies. Till now I've been using simple pen to draw my melody on a paper for 30 notes music box. Do you know any place, where I can send midi and I will get paper with printed melody? Thank you for the tips!
You can check example of my melodies on instagram (@no_normalnie).

I want to try playing the Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement on 30 note DIY music box can someone tell me if this is possible or not since the song has a lot of notes playing at the same time.

Hi,

check out my own punch tape editor! Since I always had problems getting the music onto these perforated tapes, I wrote an editor (The program has been around since 2017, but I have added a lot of features in the last few days). It can import MuseScore files (.mscz), offers a wide range of editing functions, allows you to preview and play your composition, and then export a print template as a PDF or SVG, which you can then use to punch holes (I explain the entire workflow on the homepage). Free to download for Win and macOS:
