This project was inspired by Toshio Iwai, an innovative artist and software designer from Japan. INSTRUCTIONS Click the Green Flag to start. Move the starfish and urchins to change the tune. (You can also use the ones at the bottom of the screen.) Place starfish higher and lower on the screen to play different notes. Move urchins higher and lower on the screen to get different drum sounds. Try changing the SPEED and INSTRUMENT sliders Pressing a green dot loads a song (there are songs already in the project) and pressing a red dot records what is on the screen. The Gray bar toggles the 'play through all instruments' mode.
This was one of the best example projects in the downloaded version of the Scratch 1.X software. Thank you mres for writing the original. Unfortunately it used music blocks no longer available in Scratch 2.0 and it no longer worked the way it should have. Changes by Digimath: I updated the music blocks, added a save and restore function and the "walk through the instruments function". Please enjoy and remix if you wish. Please comment. Suggestions are very welcome.
