Musidots
Welcome to Musidots.
Musidots is developed from something I saw on television not too long ago.
The idea is to make music by 'painting' on to the screen. Each of the Amiga's
four sound channels is represented by a red dot which travels across the
screen.
When this dot encounters a dot of another colour then it will play a note.
The different colours correspond to the following notes :-
Red - C
Orange - D
Yellow - E
Light Green - F
Green - G
Blue - A
Light Blue - B
Violet - C
These different colours can be selected with the keys 2 through 9.
As well as these, the direction of the dots can be changed. White reverses
the direction whilst peach and brown turn the dot through 90°.
The speed can be changed using the gadgets. Dots can be turned on or off
using the gadgets. The program is fairly self explanatory, try it and see.
The program will work on any machine. However due to the age of AMOS, the
program may not work first time on Workbench 3.x machines or above. If this
is the case then please use the utility Embedder (© Bigma/Focus Design), by
double clicking on the Embedder icon. Then drag the Musidots icon on to the
Embedder box which should have just appeared.
This program is written in AMOS.
