AKA THE 1999OPHONE
A spatial music instrument built entirely in the browser. No samples. No plugins. Everything you hear is synthesized in real time using the Web Audio API.
── VOXEL SEQUENCER ──
The 8×8 grid of glowing blocks is your melodic sequencer. Each column is one step of the beat. Tap a tile to stack colored cubes — the height of the stack determines the pitch, the column determines the note in the scale. The sequencer sweeps left to right, triggering any stacks it finds.
── BOARDS 1 2 3 4 ──
Four independent voxel grids. Switch between them to build different melodic phrases. All four boards play simultaneously through the same sequencer.
── DRUM MACHINE ──
The grid at the bottom is a 4-row, 8-step drum sequencer. Tap cells to program beats. Choose from 12 drum kits ranging from 808 Trap to Bodhran Folk, each synthesized from scratch.
── THEREMIN PAD ──
The glowing horizontal strip in the middle is a theremin. Press and drag — left/right controls pitch, up/down controls the filter. Change its voice using the VARY dropdown.
── CONTROLS ──
ADD / REM — toggle between adding and removing voxel blocks.
MODE — changes the synthesis engine for the voxel sequencer.
VARY — changes the theremin's waveform and filter character.
VOX 🎲 / DRUM 🎲 — randomize the voxel or drum pattern.
VOX 🗑 / DRUM 🗑 — clear the voxel or drum pattern.
↩ UNDO — remove the last placed voxel block.
⎘ COPY / ⎘ PASTE — copy a board's pattern and paste it onto another.
MIXER — opens the console for drum kits, volumes, BPM, and lane settings.
GYRO — on supported phones, tilts the scene using the accelerometer.
