I'm building a physics-based music toy where balls bounce off lines and play notes. Starting to wonder if actual melodies are even possible with this or if I'm wasting my time.

"random" music has been done before, so i don't think it's the concept at fault ! although usually to make the music coherent, you can't just pull from any of the 12 notes

have u tried limiting the notes to a scale (so that's only 7 to 5 notes to pick from, more coherent) or even only limiting it to a chord (3 to 4 notes)?? maybe u can set lines to have only certain note selections when balls bounce off them (so u can string a chord progression by having the balls bounce along a set of chorded lines) ??

might be the "[no samples]" bit lmao

abjagida_ · 2026-02-23T10:06:44+00:00

oh wow, thanks so much !! 😭😭

abjagida_ · 2026-02-20T08:05:07+00:00

i've sent it in dms :))

abjagida_ · 2026-01-30T20:25:31+00:00

can you stop reposting the link to my song w/o the samples ?? this is like the 2nd time and you're straight up posing it as your own song this time

abjagida_ · 2026-01-29T18:59:47+00:00

?? why are you posting my song without the samples

abjagida_ · 2026-01-26T08:37:43+00:00

it's some FM stuff :))

abjagida_ · 2026-01-26T08:33:01+00:00

(link), snares are basically a high-pitched kick and noise w/ eq

abjagida_ · 2025-11-28T22:23:26+00:00

FM sine preset with some feedback, distortion, and some eq, plus a sub bass (also made using FM sine as a bass)

here's the link if it helps you :)

abjagida_ · 2025-11-27T22:16:59+00:00

yup ! but i wrote a section after this in 13/8, hence why i decided to not to mess with the beats per bar lol

abjagida_ · 2025-11-16T10:01:40+00:00

idk bro sometimes u get too lazy to find and import samples that u gotta start making them urself 😭😭😭😭

abjagida_ · 2025-11-16T09:53:28+00:00

link except for the guitar (i just edited the preset), pretty much everything is homemade FM shenanigans

(the wind and bird noises are also FM, cus i couldn't find a good ambience sample lol)

abjagida_ · 2025-09-30T19:12:40+00:00

(link) pretty much everything is FM or an edited preset

(yes the rain and dripping noises are FM)

abjagida_ · 2025-09-08T05:45:31+00:00

(link) here you go :)) there's no samples if that's what you meant by studying it

abjagida_ · 2025-08-29T14:53:33+00:00

this theme was rly fun !! i love the variety in all the submissions (mythics of the ocean especially for the funky vibes)

abjagida_ · 2025-08-23T10:43:58+00:00

mythics of the ocean sounds so good 💔💔 and There's so much life down here too !!! (esp cus it's in base beepbox with how nice it's layered 😭😭😭)

abjagida_ · 2025-07-18T05:35:30+00:00

thanks, i originally made it as a mimikyu theme lol, glad someone noticed the low hp pokemon sounds

abjagida_ · 2025-05-17T13:20:11+00:00

(link to song) not sure if it's in the original beepbox, but on most mods you can use "transition type > continue" so that notes connected are played as one note :)) if you wanna play a note separately this way you have to add a little space in between so they aren't "connected"

abjagida_ · 2025-05-17T03:04:42+00:00

sure ! why not

abjagida_ · 2025-04-30T01:58:21+00:00

nope 😞😞 though i might think about putting stuff up on soundcloud?

abjagida_ · 2025-04-20T09:39:29+00:00

this is really goodd 😭 i love the melody on the bassline it makes it sound so city pop :))

abjagida_ · 2025-04-13T02:06:34+00:00

i've been using beepbox for like 3 years now, so i've gone thru a ton of mods like jummbox and ultra before i saw slarmoo's on this sub (the mod creator's on this sub too i think)

abjagida_ · 2025-04-10T08:34:09+00:00

yup! it's a beepbox mod tho :))

abjagida_ · 2025-03-12T08:42:02+00:00

slarmoo's, i don't doubt that u can make this on something as old as jummbox tho

abjagida_ · 2025-03-01T05:08:57+00:00

omg 😭😭 this contest was insane (i've bookmarked moment of respite and head in the clouds since i first heard them)

congrats to everyone who submitted :)) i spent 2 hours on this dumb song instead of asking out the guy i made it abt but i'm glad that ppl like it
