A front-end synthesizer built using React and Tone.js. The user is given 2 octaves to play with as well as sheet music and a metronome to better help them understand music theory.
- 2 octave keyboard
- Keys controlled via mouse or QWERTY keyboard
- Each key held down lights up pink to inform the user what keys are pressed
- Metronome and sheet music to assist the user in learning music theory
- The overall idea was quick to think of and we managed to untangle much of the logic necessary for executing it to MVP
- We managed to incorporate a number of things that were not initially thought up during our wireframe phase (e.g. sheet music, metronome, etc)
- Binding note values to QWERTY keys
- Controlling Note Off messages using the keyboard
- Tracking state for keydown presses that allows keys to light up depending on if they're pressed
- Touch capability for phones and tablets
- Record notes for playback
