A browser music tool built with Claude Code

Claude Code was used to build a for experimenting with music ideas that are awkward to compose in normal software. The app is a personal tool for trying patterns and sounds quickly. It began as a 12-tone grid, then grew into a broader composition workspace.

The app is currently written in , and its sounds are made with the . The example uses a 16 EDO scale, which divides one octave into 16 equal steps. The finished-sounding version was made by exporting tracks from the browser and polishing them in Cubase with effects, plus added kick and hi-hat sounds.

The visualizer came from MilkDrop. The project took about 10 to 15 days of part-time work and is still more of a personal than a tool ready for general use.
