SoundBlocks allows you to record different audio clips and then alter and combine them into new sounds.

Imagine a recording studio built out of brightly colored childrens blocks. Sound and music are blocks of color. Alter the sounds by stretching the blocks. Drag the blocks into different configurations and build a soundscape out of colors.

This is the concept behind SoundBlocks. It is a simple and intuitive way to record, manipulate and combine audio clips.

Recording sounds is simple, hold down the record button and when you are finished, the clip is shown as a colored block. Stretch or squeeze the block to change its pitch. Compress or expand it, to add different distortion effects.

Create another block. Now you can combine the blocks into sequences by dragging the blocks into the tracks at the bottom of the screen.
Blocks added to the 3rd track will repeat, try using this as a rhythm component. Once youve finished your masterpiece you can export the wav file and send it off to the world.
