Nice job. The notes quantized to the beats is similar to how arpeggiators work, or arranger keyboards such as when you change chord progressions.

If you like experimental musical visualization stuff, you might also check out electroplankton for the Nintendo DS. It's an oldie but a classic.

Oh, that's really cool, I hadn't heard of Electroplankton before. I'm going to check it out! I definitely see a big opportunity with pairing quantization with scales to let novices play well right from the jump.
