Wolfram Tones

Create your own unique music with WolframTones.  One of the great sites from the Mathematica and Wolfram series of sites - the clear leader in Mathematics and Science modelling on the Web.

Wolfram Tones allows users to create music using unique inputs such as types of instruments, roles, rhythm, pitch, and tempo.  All music can be saved, downloaded or emailed.

So why have show a music site on Chart Planet?  Because it also shows an interesting visualization for each unique set of criteria selected (see image on left as an example.

Friction Force on a Car in a Turn - Wolfram Demonstrations Projects

If you haven't seen the Wolfram suite of mathematics and science sites, then you are missing out on the premiere resource math and science on the web.  The Wolfram Demonstrations Project site, for example, has over 6,000 visualizations to make many complex math and science concepts very accessible.

One example is the friction force on a car in a turn (pictured at left).  Others include human walking animation, an analysis of the frequency of character pairs (important for cryptologists among others), to geometric visualizations such as triacontahedron stellations.

Take a look - you will not be disappointed.
