Run your mouse over the instrument. You will see buttons appear. The ones on the Left side are triggered by mouseovers. The ones in the middle and right are triggered by clicking. The right ones are loops that will play for about a minute each, and then fade out.

It appears that Flash can't handle more than eight sounds at once, so this is pretty easy to overwhelm but you can still get some really cool effects, and make some actual music if you approach it keeping it's limitations in mind.

It may take a minute or so for the sounds to load.

hello

i cant play shit

Wow! Loved it. What's the tuning?

-------

It's tuning is purely internal, that is to itself. It was determined by how one note sounded when played against all the others. It's what my ears, brain and hacksaw agreed on at that particular juncture in time. If a studious soul wants to sit down at a piano or tuner and figure out what scale, or lack of scale it is, I'd love to hear about it.
