Thank you to the creator of this! I am actually working on a hardware version of a sound grid similar to this! I was inspired by a much older version of this which was written in Flash and doesn't work too well (there is also a 5 year old Android app [1]). It's awesome to have something which actually works on a modern phone.

My idea for a sound block toy is similar but instead of having a grid it's a line of blocks which light up and play a tone. The tone will be adjustable with buttons or gestures and can be rearranged.

I also need planned out a life size grid which people collaborate and step on to light up the notes. Obviously this concept is very interesting to me!!

If you're talking about Tone Matrix, I ported it to JavaScript to work on modern browsers and phones.

Check it out if you're so inclined:

Wonderful thank you! I have had a hard time finding a replacement and "time grid" wasn't a good search term!

Something like the Polyend Seq sequencer or (if you want to include sound) the Synthstrom Audible Deluge?

No not quite like the polyend seq, each block is a note and is moveable so you can arrange them together in whatever sequence you want that way. The blocks communicate with infrared so they know what order they're in
