Easy procedural music

Automatune is an easy-to-use procedural music editor that doesn’t require any coding or special knowledge. The name Automatune comes from the word “automaton”. Automatune is an automaton that makes tunes!

When you add arrows and notes to the Automatune grid, the dots will follow the arrows, playing any notes they encounter along the way. Automatune has customizations for grid size and tempo, and even lets you share your creations by URL or by saving them to a file.

In 2018 a Unity3D version of Automatune was created by Gabriele Picco, and is available for Android and iOS. (Video). This version of Automatune is untested and unaffiliated.

Tech Stack

Automatune is written in HTML, CSS, and vanilla Javascript, and it makes limited use of jQuery for its menu system. The project is written in a way that makes it easily extensible, and it is thoroughly documented using jsDoc.
