completely breaks it about half way through.

Anyway, cool hack!

Since KeyboardJS is already loaded via requirejs, we can require it and then use it to get the keyCode for each character in the for loop.

    var KeyboardJS = require('lib/keyboard');

    [...]

    for (var i = 0; i < input.length; ++i) {
      var code = KeyboardJS.key.code(input.charAt(i));
      if (code) {
        soundArray.push(code);
      } else {
        soundArray.push(32);
      }
    }

The behavior of cmd as the pedal is a little weird. When you release the pedal, the sound should stop. Maybe it's just a Mac bug, though.

The top row seems to be an octave higher than it should be, that interferes with moveability. Though I understand you probably wanted to expand the range.

The idea of fully movable chords was drilled into my head by the design of the Ableton Push, and I've always loved it, though I think that's far more intuitive than this.

How does the ableton push solve this problem? Looking at a video it almost felt like they were switching modes for a scale (almost like a harp does with its pedals). I'm probably off here, but I couldn't quickly find docs on how it worked.

More music please from the talented among us!

I've tried things like this before, but this is great.

I knew playing all those typing race games would come in handy one day!

…But I stopped caring when I got to filling in the dictionary of notes, so if somebody else wants to finish it, be my guest! ;]

Is a shame there are some chords that you can't play (chord: pressing notes at the same time), such as "yup". But I think is a hardware limitation rather than a bug in the JavaScript.

Also, perfect thing to test my N-key rollover keyboard (which only goes to 6 due to USB limitations...)!

Maybe the keyboard makes different sounds sometimes? Or maybe I'm off by a key...

edit: is this open source such that people can contribute?

Also, you can make a key stay down by holding down Control (Command on a Mac)

I would like to same some kind of feedback, like piano diodes that get on and of for you to follow a tune or tell you when you get wrong.

The scales produced by typing along one row reminded me of the castle theme from Super Mario World. If my javascript-foo was greater, I would write a function that types this, but alas.

This is the best part of the app! A simple string is simplified music notation for this keyboard, and if you are a touch typist, that means you can play anything on the fly!
