I soon might get my electric piano hooked up to the computer.  If I do I will help with that.

Cool, I'm looking forward to your ideas 

Here's a very early alpha, to get you guys an idea of what we'll do: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/technoguyx/1472948

oh, hi poke

So, recently I've been doing cool stuff on a flash game called Punk-o-Matic. I'd link you to it but it contains swearing and stuff, so I'll describe it: It's a game in which you can use a set of riffs, basslines and drum beats to compose your own Punk, Rock or Metal songs, and then play them in Guitar Hero-esque concerts. So I thought, why not do something similar on Scratch. At least being able to compose simple songs would be good since 1.4 is way too laggy for a real Guitar Hero clone with charts and all.

But to do that I need to find people who can play instruments or at least compose some riffs. If you play electric guitar, bass, drums or keyboard (dunno about other instruments, but I think acoustic guitar or piano would be fine.), have a decent mic and can compose your own stuff in a certain scale (we'll probably go with C major/A minor, it's the most simple one) tell me. If you can do some art or programming (the latter assuming you have basic music knowledge) it'd be nice too.

TL;DR: Got ideas for a cool musicmaking game, join if you want to help with art, programming, or recording your instrument.

People participating so far:
-technoguyx: Some programming, electric guitar and soon bass player (need mic though, maybe getting one for xmas).

I can do Piano/keyboard...

You already can do Keyboard/piano/guitar/tons of intsruments (individual notes) using scratch you know.

I uploaded a new version.

I can do piano, if you want. ahow many BPM, I have a metronome.

Lol, nobody plays something other than piano now? D: Recordings in 120 or 150 BPM (right now we have only 150, but I think some slower stuff would be good) are fine.

EDIT: Added some ideas to the main post, post yours too to add them.

Well, I play recorder! XD

Uh. Yeah. Sorry I don't play anything else.

Heh, just imagine rock played with a recorder 

Well, if you come up with a guitar riff on your piano you may record it too, I could record it on my guitar.

I know, but I suck so badly at that.. DX
I'm only good when I have an actual instrumant..

Kay. Imma go work on the building engine, maybe come up with a gutar-heroey thing.

Work on the Guitar Heroish engine if you can. I'm working a little in the engine and if we both work on the same thing we'll end up with 2 different versions and it'll be messy.    If you manage to implement note charts (something not done so far) you're my new hero    But if it creates too much lag random notes will be fine, maybe making it more realistic by changing the speed and complexity of the notes.

Hmm. Maybe make one color form, say drums, so for a drums part, it would use, say, orange notes.

What do you mean?

Think of this:

O < Drums end                  O < Drums note
O < Guitar end                            O < Guitar note

i play guitar
and i don't mean stupid guitar hero or rock band
i play REAL guitar

TL;DR: Got ideas for a cool musicmaking game, join if you want to help with art, programming, or recording your instrument.

People participating so far:
-technoguyx: Programming, ideas.
-SeptimusHeap: Programming.
-gbear605: A bit of programming I think, some ideas.

Instrumentalists:
-technoguyx: Guitar player, might be getting a bass soon. Can compose synth riffs too.
-gbear605: Piano player.
-pokedirector's cousin: Not confirmed yet.
-bananaman114: Piano/Keyboard player.
-SeptimusHeap: Piano player.

Ideas:
-Piano and synth riffs (IN THE WORKS, already recorded some synth organ riffs for next version)
-Single notes for piano and maybe other instruments (gbear405) (IN THE WORKS, done by gbear but I'm expanding it's functionality for next version)
-Playing your songs in a Guitar Hero fashion (IN THE WORKS, SeptimusHeap may look into it)
-Multiple pages for your songs
-Saving your songs
-A simple story mode

Version History:
-v0.1 Alpha: First version
-gbear's remix of v0.1: Added single note blocks

Latest build: v0.1 Alpha, also gbear's version which has individual piano notes.

I have a keyboard, but I can make it play any of the following instruments;

1. Grand Piano
2. Piano
3. 4 types of electric piano
4. Harpsichord
5. Electric Guitar
6. Distorted Guitar
7. DRUM KIT!!!
and plenty more.
