I’m sure most of y’all know this, but I’ll say it anyway - you can cut and paste these Doper codes into the white field above the instrument.

Here’s mine, hope you like it. 🙂

Little Boots uses one of those. [Here is some video I shot of her using one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E660itcbaUM) in concert in Chicago.

I need this as an app for my iPod Touch. Ryukyu Sakamoto writes in this form, so I have decided this is an “automatic Sakamoto”.

I found a tool like this for iPhone and iPod Touch called Melodica. There is a free version to try and a full version that is only $.99.

It seems I’m feeling a little melancholy/Japanese. At least that what it sounds like to me.

If anybody wants to take this to the next level, download the demo of FL Studio, formerly known as Fruity Loops, to see what’s really possible.

The sound sounds very Oriental to me. Put that thought in the brain of an anthematologist, and you get this: 256-1088-4113-0-4-0 at 40 bpm is my attempt at the opening few notes of [the Japanese national anthem](http://www.nationalanthems.info/jp.htm).
