Cure for the Mondays: Tone Matrix
Time Wasters
I don’t have much to say here, just passing on a little audio toy to distract you from your Monday morning. Special thanks to Vince for pointing me towards this. Enjoy!

Almost all of our MP3s are strictly for evaluation purposes. If you enjoy the tracks you hear, please support the artists by purchasing their music at a place like beatport or Amazon's mp3 store.
In some cases we put up classic songs that are simply impossible to purchase anymore. We hope that you download and disseminate these, as we believe the world is a better place with more copies of these tracks in the hands of competent DJs. Spread them around!
All of this said, we'd hate to cost anyone business. All links to MP3s will be removed at the request of the artist or their label. Feel free to contact us.
That thing is rad… You can even copy and paste your little tune…
Copy this string below to your clipboard and right click on the grid and select paste. Mine is nothing cool but I bet someone with musical talent can make it play something interesting.

This is so rad! Thanks to Brilliant Reader Vince and Brilliant Reader Steve for unlocking the secret of track sharing. I hope more of you post your tracks.
Ohhh, one more thing: on my mac if I scroll down on the Tone Matrix screen really fast the music will glitch! It’s dope, like making custom IDM remixes.
Oh snap, I didn’t know you could copy/paste! Thanks Steve!
here’s my little tune

If you hold down the mouse button and drag across, you can add or remove notes in one fell-swoop, sweet for throwing in a bassline then taking it out again before the player goes over them
Nice one Vince! Here´s the remix:

I know I’m late in the game (and nobody will probably ever hear this) but I just found out you can post this shit.
this is fun!
Nice ones, Ben! I wish my ancient computer was fast enough for me to switch between them on the fly (they sound like different parts of one song) but alas, it don’t do flash so good anymore.
BTW, I do think people will find your comment, thanks to a newly-extended ‘recent comments’ section we have on the side bar of every page.
I found them!!!
I listened to the ones I posted the other night and I realized that mine are very high pitched. Just wanted to bring it down a notch

Also, I’m sure that it’s easy to make it sound good cause this is one that Jake made

Nice ones Ben! So how did Jake make his jam? Is he proficiant with a mouse already? These kids they grow up so fast these days…
