Ballad

A playground for music Ballad is a toy box for melodies. You choose, bring, or write a tune, or let the game make one up, and you play with it.

Build a machine that performs it, watch it drawn as light, play it as a rhythm game, dress it in your own instruments and colours, and record the result as a video.

Compose - A piano roll for your own tunes: paint notes, stack chords, set the tempo - Built-in melody generator writes a tune on demand as a starting point - Load anything from the song library, import your own MIDI files, or export from Ballad as MIDI

Build a machine - Draw shapes and drop a ball on them, and observe how it plays out - Turn gravity on or off, make shapes vanish or rotate, and customize as you please. - Pause, play it backwards, control playback with keyboard - Use built-in generators and visualizers for automatic tracks - Autoplay lays out a course that plays your melody in its exact rhythm, and loops it for as long as you like

Play it - The rhythm mode turns the same melody into falling notes - Select from 1 to 10 lanes to adjust to your level - Bind the keys any way you like - Or let it auto-play for viewing pleasure

Make it look like yours - Select from multiple instruments or import your own - Ball hit effects from bloom to sparks to ripple - Customize the colors and patterns to your liking

Save & record it - Save any melody or session in its entirety - Record a video of anything in any aspect and size with the built-in recorder
