Synesthesia, make noise music with a colorpicker▲39
This is a (silly, little) app which lets you make noise music using a color picker as an instrument. When you click on a specific point in the color picker, a bit of JavaScript maps the binary representation of the clicked-on color's hex-code to a "chord" in the 24 tone-equal-temperament scale. That chord is then played back using a throttled audio generation method which was implemented via Tone.js. NOTE! Turn the volume way down before using the site. It is noise music. :)

Hi HN! I could never find the right sample for my music, so we built Sounds. A collaborative catalog of free samples and loops, generated with our music model. Everything is free to browse and download, but the most fun part is to generate your own. Every generation joins the public library, so the catalog grows from what people couldn't find.
