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.
Quiero hacer varias cajitas con diferentes canciones, pero no se como, ni de donde sacar las notas de las canciones, ¿hay algun video o cursode ustedes que me pueda ayudar?
I have modofied a song which contains a number of tuplets. Can I reproduce these on a paper strip by making the holes slightly closer than the printed lines and will the fingers be able to recover sufficiently to play them (they are not the same note) and secondly when I transfer my MP3 file to the MMM editing programme it doesn't recognise them and throws out the remainder of the tune. Anyone a solution?
First of all thank you for the great music ressource I could find here. I bought a 30 note music and wanted to automated the punching process. I ended coding some script to automatically generate from a midi file a 3D printable set of boards.
Should one of you be interestested, here is a link to thingiverse where I posted the application too (thing:5390853) : www.thingiverse.com/thing:5390853
I've been noticing bots uploading a lot of melodies in a short period. Well to not create more confusion, I'm not referring to actual people who upload a lot (e.g., erin). Most of them seem to be named "hm" with a sequence of numbers that consist of 5 digits after it. After listening to the melodies uploaded by the assumed bots, the melodies seem to be some kind of remixes or alterations of an original melody: which doesn't really consider the melodies as copies in a sense. The assumed bots are making it pretty difficult to see others' melodies, which is kind of annoying. Since it'll make it harder for people to get any views on their melodies. Any thoughts?
P.S.: Moderators, if possible, can you find a way to tone down the spam?

Hello music box maniacs! I'd like to share with you the video I made this year to wish you Merry Christmas. I like music boxes, and I like machines in general, so I mixed both worlds to create an automatic punching machine. It's not finished yet, but it can punch a song with 619 notes in 3m30sec.
Does anyone know a way to loop the tape on a hand crank music box? I have a 30-note box and attempted to tape the 2 ends of the music tape together with clear vinyl tape (I wanted something sturdy since the music tape is so stiff), but I think the added thickness just broke the gears when the looped/taped part fed through the mechanism. Is looping simply impossible with plastic gears? Does it work with another kind of mechanism? Is there a kind of tape that will work better?
