Beat Blocks is a tangible interface for a rhythm sequencer. The user is able to create and manipulate a 4-track drum loop by physically re-arranging wooden blocks within a 4x4 grid.

@WyldOrbit It Is The Real Thing

[Xarosas]

@mekkler and much less than half of those combinations contain beats that hold anyome's attention (you know, rhythm)

@I3IJakeI3II More logical in fact

[I3IJakeI3II]

@MasterFuckingYoda 2^64 lol they can either be on or off therefore 2 options and there are 64 spots.. binary stuff

@MasterFuckingYoda Pretty sure each different type of block needs to be added to the formula... Perhaps orientation as well... I dont really know whats up with this thing. Lol, I think my interest has waned... at least on the geometric properties... :P

[MasterFuckingYoda]

@mekkler are you sure it is as simple as 16^16 combinations ?

By the way that stuff is cool :)

[WyldOrbit]

Would be intersting to hear an actual rhythm instead of random noise...
