π MIDI Snake
The old snake game, except the board is a bar of music β and everything you eat stays in your clip. Right-click any MIDI clip to play. Left to right is time, bottom to top is pitch, so the round you play IS the pattern.
- Eat a note name and it is written at exactly that step β the loop plays it back straight away
- Fully scale-aware β key, scale and tempo come from your set, and the board grows or shrinks with the scale (7-note, blues, pentatonicβ¦)
- Board length 1, 2 or 4 bars, pre-set from your clip
- Triad bonus β collect the 1st, 3rd and 5th degree back to back
- Ping-pong tempo β the snake breathes between 1/8 and 1/16 every two bars
- Autopilot with three behaviours, so you can watch a pattern build itself
- Three looks: ARPMAN, C64 and Arcade with scanlines
- High score table β ten places, three letters, like the cabinets
- Replace clip / Add to clip / Discard β nothing is overwritten behind your back
- Update check β shows a notification when a new version is available
