True music maker in scratch

I dislike using scratch blocks for making music. How about something similar to the mario paint composer. Its simple to use and people can make amazing music. It needs to allow people to use scratch blocks too if they pefer that

Re: True music maker in scratch

Well, scratch only includes a paint editor because kindergarteners might not be able to import things. If you're old enough to compose songs on the computer (like compose them, not press random buttons) you should be able to use an actual music creator. Also, so you know how much work that would be? Do you think it's just "poof" to get a music creator?

Re: True music maker in scratch

Scratch is a programming tool, not a music-making one  hmm  It would take an incredible amount of development time to create something feasible as well.

You can always create tracks in other music programs like FL Studio and importing them into Scratch though.

Re: True music maker in scratch

I support. I really like the idea. It would take a lot of work, and I don't think it would be implemented, but it's still undoubtedly a cool thought.

Re: True music maker in scratch

I don't support. The point of Scratch is to teach kids how to program, not to make music. You can make music perfectly fine using outside programs.

The problem is that scratch can't play mutiple notes in one script.
very annoy thing about scratch.

Also kindergarteners use scratch! O.O they must be very smart.

If you create a wav file or something using a music editor, you can get more than one note at once.

Also, scratch was designed for kindergarteners.
