Google launched a simple browser-based sequencer for making music
If you don’t have any music-making background, don’t worry. It appears that Song Maker restricts what notes are available based on the scale you choose. So, no matter what you do, it will be in key (and not sound horrible). You can also hook it up to a MIDI keyboard or enable the mic button to sing into Song Maker; a hovering icon will appear on the left-hand side to show what note you’re hitting.
Beyond the main interface, there’s a bunch of options available to further customize your song. You can adjust the tempo with a sliding bar, set an octave range, the length of your loop, how many beats you want per bar, and more. Overall, it’s a neat little experience that’s fun to casually play around with.
Chrome Music Lab’s Song Maker is one of many browser-based music-making tools that can be played around with for free. For example, PIXELSYNTH lets you draw sketches and then turns those images into music as it scrolls across, and Novation made a browser version of its Launchpad hardware called Arcade that has you tap sample pads to program loops.
