Mütrix is a simple little music app I wrote last night.

Sweet! I love these music-matrix thingies.

This is by far one of my favorite LOVE programs! I am having a lot of fun with it.

Are there any plans to be able to export your loop as an audio file? I could use this to make quick music mockups for my current project.

It's too bad the lines skip a lot of notes.

This. If you do that I'd delete audacity and use this

Cool! Couple of things:
* By using a conf.lua file you can define things like window size and title, and also disable unused modules.
* You can cut down on filesize and correct PO2 issues by breaking the bg.png image into two images. By adjusting the scale when you draw the background you can really cut down on filesize. (Note: filesize isn't really an issue for you, but I feel that it's worth mentioning.)

Also, I was wondering why you define a randomseed? I don't see the use of random anywhere in your code.

Thanks!

I'd love to do that but I have no idea how. Right now it's all standard LÖVE stuff so there's no trivial way to implement sound export that I know of. But I'll see what I can do. Might not be too hard to implement MIDI output. That way you could always substitute your own samples. (If anybody has any suggestions/recommendations they are very welcome!)

That's actually the point, since it's supposed to be a toy rather than a real tool. The scale is A-B-D-E-F#-A-B-E-F#-B-... so no matter what you put together it still sounds kinda good. I am planning on adding other scales for people feeling a bit more "adventurous" though.

Awesome work.
Also, I can only have respect for someone with the skills to compose music live like this, good job on that.
