To place several notes quickly, you can click and drag all over the screen watch as your previously blank canvas comes to life in an explosion of color and sound! The bottom two rows on the grid serve as the percussion instruments any notes placed in those rows will play those instruments. Notes placed in the same column will play at the same time just like a chord. Clicking on any of the squares on the grid places a colored note in that space (any note placed in that exact row will sound the same and have the same color). Share your favorite Groove Pizza in the comment section below!Ĭhrome Music Lab has a wonderful variety of interactive music and sound based activities which I could spend an entire blog post on all by itself, but today I want to share with you my favorite one: Song Maker! When you first open the webpage, you’re greeted with blank grid and a few controls at the bottom. Finally, in the very bottom left corner of the screen, you can adjust the volume, change the speed by adjusting the BPM (beats per minute), add a bit of jazz flavor by adjusting the “swing” setting, and change the total number of “slices” to your pizza which ultimately change the way the beats are arranged. In the “share” menu, there are several options to show off your groovy tunes such as sharing to Twitter and Facebook, downloading as an audio file or as a MIDI file, and continuing to edit in apps like Noteflight and Soundtrap.
You can also pick shapes from the “shapes” menu on the left and drag them onto your circle to explore how the math concepts of shapes, angles, and patterns sound on your musical pizza. Pick a preset from the “specials” menu on the left hand side (e.g., “jazz swing,” “rock you,” “trap”), and then add all your “toppings” on the main circle on the screen by clicking to adjust the beats. It’s time to dig into your favorite pizza, musically speaking! At first glance, navigating around Groove Pizza may seem a bit overwhelming, but making your musical pizza is actually quite simple. So, are you ready to get your opera on?! Let us know how much fun you had exploring this website by dropping a comment at the end of the blog post (and you can even share your recording link if you’d like)!
On the bottom left side of the screen is a red record button you can press to record and share your song, while on the bottom right side there is a tree icon which, once pressed, transforms the blobs into a holiday choir (complete with cute red hats!) with options to listen to some pre-recorded holiday tunes. Thanks to machine learning built into the site, the other blobs will automatically harmonize the notes that they sing, even as you switch between different notes and sounds.
Let your inner choir director reign in Blob Opera as you control four colorful “blobs” by simply clicking with your mouse or touching on your screen one blob at a time to drag the notes up or down! To change the vowel sounds that a blob sings, you can drag the blob left or right to switch between a, e, i, o, and u sounds.
