Visual Music

Loader is a very fun visual musical app.  It reminds me a bit of the old Fantasia bit of meeting the Sound Track.

It’s a flash app where you have 8 instruments where you can control the volume and the time delay (how quickly the notes repeat) and then you ‘paint’ the palate.  A tremendous amount of fun.

It does come with presets, but I didn’t see a way to add your own presets nor did I see a way to save your creations.  I’d also like a playback capability.

But man is it fun.   I love visual feedback to music like this.  Visual feedback of any kind.  Tufte has a great example he gives in his presentations.  Fantasia had a clip on it as well.  This is along those lines.
