=BEAT BLOCKS= Created by Steinunn Arnardottir, Nick Bryan, and Hayden Bursk


IDEA/CONCEPT

Beat Blocks tries to break out of the mold of the standard 2-dimensional step-sequencer paradigm. Normally, a step sequncer works as a flat grid of two axes. The x-axis, broken up into columns, works with time stepping through discrete note values, usually 8th or 16th notes. The y-axis, broken up into rows, functions as either multiple voices, one per row, or as pitch increasing with height.
