Re: Music Contest

It HAS to be done on scratch? I wish I could just record myself playing piano, then put it in scratch.

Re: Music Contest

I want to enter. One quick question, though... does it have to be made with a separate program, like garageband, or can you use the note/sound blocks, or both?


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: Music Contest

You sorta can... Play on synth/keyboard and record it as MIDI in the computer. Then open the midi, ad you'll see all notes and timing as you played, and then you only rewrite it in note blocks. If I were you, I'd use Jens' Chirp: it import xmls, at least how I heard, so you would generate XML with note blocks from the MIDI itself with a little programming (any programming environment in which yuu can open a MIDI file and write xml output into other file will do, I, as a Smalltalker, would try Squeak first).

You mean we can ONLY use these blocks?

I can do it, even if you only get those.  big_smile
Oh, just one more question: can it be any style of music?

Hmmm... Does a band playing the song count as "some sort of dancing"?

EDIT: Also, can I use "Repeat" blocks on the music, they are pretty useful for this kind of projects  smile

As long as the song played one time is longer than one minute, youre good

And yes, the band dancing is a type of dance.

Re: Music Contest

I meant to use repeat to repeat different sections, a technique used in music sometimes. I uploaded my project right now.

Re: Music Contest

If you want, you could use the list based music box engine from my Christmas Jukebox project

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Paddle2See/337507

which works from files created from exported lists created by this project
