Kinacoustic is a music composition game and a new musical experience. You can control the elements of music by bouncing melodic Drops onto colored Note Lines that you place. In doing this, you can create basic or complex songs - your own composition or a cover.
Kinacoustic is full of features that help you create songs and enjoy the game:
- Rhythm - Sometimes referred to as beat, the pace at which notes are being played. Control this with the Drop Emitters and the Clock.
- Pitch - A,B,C,D,E,F and G notes in seven different octaves all with their sharp, flat, and natural variants. Control this with the color of the lines you draw and the length of them.
