From the Author:

Chromedrones is a sound toy in your web browser. You can create sound-resonating attractor pop-up windows by pressing the 'a' key. The particles from the main window will feed the attractors energy that allow them to produce sound.

Experiment with different tonalities and enjoy!

Technology:

Javascript Canvas

I pressed 'A' once and a freaking million pop-ups were created. Some kind of bug I guess.

I'm using Chrome on OSX

I cant change my attractor's note either. I sent error reports to both Google Chrome and the Chrome Experiments site (using the report experiment feature) Are you running Google Chrome in BETA? Please fix this experiment. I REALLY miss it. :-(

Does not work well in the newest version of google chrome. whenever i click on the attractor to change the note, it moves the original screen (where it shoots the white balls) over the attractor, which does not allow me to change the note.

I finally understood how it works. :)

In my opinion, one thing is missing: the ability to pitch down an attractor's note.

@Brad F: It uses only javascript + canvas (try right click). Although if I were the author I would be glad you said the work was SO good it seemed like flash.

Maybe once this technology (canvas + fast js) is supported by everyone we can remove ourselves from the proprietary shackles of Adobe Flash.

there's flash here, see dronemanager.js. JS-909 experiment uses Quicktime. We'll have to wait for audio ssupport in chrome.

Flash? Seriously? In a JavaScript experiment? Really?

If this guy (http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/JS-909/) can make a JavaScript sound machine, I don't think it could be much harder to take the Flash out of this experiment.

That page used Quicktime to play sounds. It wasn't just javascript.

Nice job. The sound panning when the attractors were dragged really caught me off-guard. It's a bit glitchy, but aside from that this is a really neat experiment.

Sweet! When the attractors are dragged from right to left, the sound space changes... it's like 70's stereo all over again.
