problems

Maybe it's just "build 239" (as shipped with B2 units) having a non-functional mockup of TamTam, but in case not...

Nobody here can figure out how to use it. That's a 7-year-old, a 3-year-old, and two adults. We can make each instrument play a single note, once per mouse click. I managed to bring up an over-complicated GUI wrapper around the synthesizer core. We can also quit the program. I guess I was expecting a musical staff, a musical keyboard, or both.

You need to get rid of the junk instruments. Anything with a built-in melody or built-in rhythm makes a bad instrument. The non-tonal things ought to be grouped together.

TamTam edit is allot of fun but there's no undo! I've accidentally added notes I can't seem to get rid of, deleted notes, rows and everything I've written. Argh! Extremely frustrating. -Me
