A visual instrument
Draw a line. Hear it loop. Flick a dot. Hear it pluck.
musicinkloop is two instruments in one app, for Android and iPhone. Everything you make stays in tune: the paper is a pentatonic scale, and the bounce frame is sixteen notes around the edge.
Paper
Height is pitch. Left to right is time. Nine colours are nine sounds: keys, pluck, bell, marimba, flute, strings, chime, bass, and 8-bit. A bass line, drums, and an arpeggio sit one tap away. You can switch the drawing to a grid, or to a round paper where the hand is time and out is up.
Bounce
Flick a dot. It flies in a straight line and bounces off the frame. Every wall is a guitar string; where it hits sets the note. Nine colours are nine guitars. Tap a dot to hold it; flick it again to send it off. Bounce is in the app, not in the browser.
In the browser
This site’s homepage is a sketchpad: draw, and a note sounds. Play in the browser opens the looping paper — the same instrument as the app, without bounce, songs, the gallery, or export.
The app
HK$18, no account, no ads, no tracking. The instruments work offline.
The studio, an optional in-app purchase bought once, adds photo to music, twelve keys in major or minor, quicker notes, an exact tempo and your own colours. Everything above is in the app without it.
musicinkloop is our own instrument. It is not affiliated with any other drawing-to-music app.
