   Nice. I just couldn't figure out any logic to the notes. Banjo mental block, I guess.

   My cookies are funny. I was able to get there the first time, but now it just takes me to the minimalist text-entry-and-'I'm feeling-lucky' button page.
   A friend of mine pointed me to the Australian version...but it's different than the MerryCan one.

   Hey, Josh, I think someone beat you to that second composition.

    Can't wait to see and hear what they do for Charlie Parker's birthday.

    I've been trying to reverse engineer the tune= parameter in the URL for saved tunes. Theoretically, you should be able to create a string of character that will be played, without actually recording it.
    
    No luck at all. Not even close. I think it's decoded on the client side. There's some very complicated Javascript on that page.

    Play back doesn't work outside of USA apparently

    Has anyone else noticed that you can get some controlled chord strumming, as well as some single-note action by rolling your cursor over various regions of the thin blue bar at the top of the page? Also, rolling cursor over regions in an upward direction results in a placement in the stereo field that's different from rolling from the top down. Yep, there's some serious scripting at work here.

    The number keys work for strings after you press the record button.

    I get no sound from this doodle and various links. Is it a flash recording perhaps?

    zaine_ridling, yes it requires Flash.
