This was actually written during the pandemic as a song of hope in dark times. It was done on one of those $20 kikkerman music boxes. Hope you like it!
My import seems ok and when I "play" it on the web site, it sounds fine. When I publish it and print the strips, you have to crank like crazy to make it sound reasonable. It is in 3/4 and is a lullaby but the poor kid might grow up before the piece is completed. Any suggestions on how I can condense the published strip so that it plays faster on the music box without a wrist sprain?
most of the tunes i play on my Music Box are very slow. How do i speed it up... i can only turn the handle so fast... some of the tunes dont sound good either with a slow BPM
Can you add an option for the editor for AI to convert your mobile files into music boxified files. I tried using an apple file to MIDI but it’s no use. Please add that in case some Google users are mobiles!
Hello! I have a 30 note music box but the plastic gears slip often. Just wondering if anyone knows where to find replacement copper gears that ship to Canada (drop a link if its convenient). Thanks!! :)
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.
I would like to transfer 3 songs to a new music box for my beloved on her birthday next month. But I know nothing about music editions. How can I convert a song to MP3 and then adapt it for a music box?
Even though this forum is about paper music boxes I have a question which I believe should relate to all music boxes. Its super simple yet I have been googling for several days with no luck. Its about writing for music box.
What does the number really mean in the music box type? 15-note, 18-note, 30-note etc., etc.
I had understood it meant the total number of individual combs. So I wrote a piece for three voices for an 18-note box (not paper) that stayed within the range of 17 notes. I sent it to someone to prototype so i could make 100 or so to sell at my shows. She said it could not be made as written. She did not say why.
So that being said - it stayed within 17 notes. So does the number refer to the absolute length of a song? 15 total notes whether repeated or not?
Was my melody too high perhaps I am really excited about my music boxes its been a project in my mind for a number of years and yet very hard to find info.
