I thought that a discord server aimed at music boxes would be nice to show projects in progress, and to help each other with the paper roll music box projects. I came up after the idea after helping a few people on reddit with their projects.
So if you like music boxes, and/or sometimes want some help or feedback on your paper roll music box projects, feel free to join!
This Python program automates the whole process of converting a 30-note DXF file exported from musicmanics.com to an SVG file that can be directly uploaded to and cut by Cricut Design Space. Demo is here: https://youtu.be/y3J86qpPQiQ
Please note the disclaimers, licensing info etc. there.
Other methods of doing this worked, but without Illustrator, I needed an alternative. My husband wrote this program to help me out. Hopefully his sharing it will be fun for others as well.
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.
