Generate MIDI with Physics

  • BounceBud is a generative MIDI sequencer powered by a real physics engine.

  • Features 4 customizable keyboards on each side that trigger notes when balls collide.

  • Each keyboard has its own MIDI output for controlling multiple audio apps.

  • All keyboards share the same key/scale, changeable in settings or with BrainBud.

  • Create unique, unpredictable patterns through physical ball interactions.

Customize the Keyboards

Customize the Keyboards

  • Configure octave range, velocity range, and MIDI input/output channels in settings.

  • Specify individual notes per keyboard to create arpeggios or single-note patterns.

  • Shoot walls with MIDI input to add generative randomness to the playground.

  • Assign MIDI input channels to shoot walls per keyboard individually.

Control the Playground

  • Adjust ball physics behavior through the settings menu.

  • Toggle collision between balls to create completely different sequences.

  • Control ball count, speed, and size from the bottom toolbar.

  • Speed and size include variety options for introducing randomness.

  • Choose from colorful themes for the balls to enhance visual appeal.
