| Very interesting idea and very good experience. Love the visual
| design. Would be happy to see it in detail but I guess it is not
| open-source?
|
| A phenomenon I observe is that when many of us are at the same
| place, right after one person start to click and drag, the rest
| start to do the same thing. But after a while, I found that
| available synths are quite limited so I close the page. I guess
| the creator can get some statistics and test with different sound
| making possibilities. Can have some genres preferences such as
| Melody or Noise feast...
|
| An idea is to use Glicol.js(https://glicol.js.org/) as the audio
| engine instead of the raw Web Audio API and save the result
| somewhere so it can be reused for research or future composition.
| The usage of Glicol like this can be found on https://synth.is/
|
| Some socials would be even better. On Glicol
| website(https://glicol.org) there is also an App for
| collaborative music live coding where at least we can change the
| name and chat as comments.
|
| All in all, I see great potential in this App. I feel that the
| best place for it is actually not here in HN or other place you
| share links, but allocated in different museums like Tate. I once
| thought about setting up some collaborative live coding devices
| that way. But this is apparently a better fit for the museum
| context for its intuitiveness!

| This is wildly cool. At one point I locked in with another user
| for about a minute or two, we were taking cues from each other
| and getting into little call-response counterpoint kinda
| patterns.
|
| Every once in a while when I'm playing with other musicians, I
| hit this little moment of magic where both people start to smile
| - there's something happening, you're working together. That
| feeling is one of the most joyful human experiences I know of. I
| started to feel that same smile creep across my face when I
| synced up with whatever anonymous stranger was playing at the
| same time as me. We were dancing back and forth, trading high and
| low voices.
|
| This a really fun little toy. What an awesome thing, to enable
| that brief moment of joy and connection with another, anonymously
| online while I sat here on the toilet. :)
|
| Thanks for sharing.

| This is so fun! Spent 10 minutes just jamming out. I think the
| scale and time quantizations are what make it truly fun to use,
| because it's almost hard to make anything sound bad! Love it.

| How did this get upvoted without the correct url?

| This is fun though.

| It reminds me of the random/algorithmically generated riffs from

| always sounds good, no matter how wildly you scribble.

| I'm confused, it doesn't look like it's possible to actually do
| anything on this site. There's a bunch of already-completed
| projects you want me to look at described with text that runs
| outside of its bounding box, and when I manage to actually figure
| out how to click on one of the projects, it's one of those awful
| full-screen ad-pages where you write one sentence with a huge
| banner image and I have to scroll a page down to read the next
| sentence?
|
| Is the title clickbait? You don't seem at all interested in
| having me create any sort of music. You seem interested in
| selling me on something that Beck did.

| What?, no this is real. The URL is wrong. I put in "plink.in"
| and HN added "test." or something... Go to https://plink.in/
| and click "play now". You "Jam" with other random people. It
| "makes" you sound good. I don't know music, but I have a
| feeling that anyone who does would just bash this for being
| superficial.

| Hacker News uses the canonical link attribute of the site, if
| present. The canonical link to your site, according to the
| HTML header, is test.plink.in. You should fix that because
| not only Hacker News will get confused by that.
|
| That said, it's a nice toy!

| https://plink.in/ everyone! This is the best site I have used in
| the past 2 years. Wow. I was laughing at all the melodies my
| teammate kept making, then i tried to syncopate and throw in a
| competing solo.
|
| at one point we ('parental cougar' and 'developed gerbil') had
| the call & response blues solo thing going. This is HILARIOUS!
|
| Well Done!!!!!!!!
|
| augmentatations: - Hotkeys to switch instruments, - AWSD or arrow
| keys to navigate up/down, R/F or other keys to go up/down by 2 or
| 3 jumps

| Yeah, this has been covered in the past. Yeah, I should go back
