Download the 12 sprites and 27 scripts of "conductomatic v4" and open it in Scratch Project Notes
this doesn't seem to be working correctly on the web right now- download to check it out.
This version of the conductomatic was created during a jam session, following the first live performance which used version 2 (see that version for a description: (link to project) ).
The basic rules are the same as before: you improvise repeating patterns, and change your pattern at the moment a vertical line reaches "now." In this version there are also three different colors. When a line arrives, the background color changes. You are supposed to remember the pattern that you played, for example, on blue, so that when blue comes again, you play the same thing. And when orange comes again, you play your orange pattern. The "next" box shows the color coming next (like the thing showing the next block in tetris). It's a challenge for the memory- three seemed like the most different colors we could use comfortably, at least on the first few tries.

Nice. I like the way the interface is evolving. Some day I want to see a youtube video of it in use.
If you need to add a visual metronome, here's one :) (link to project)">(link to project) I've used it while trying to teach my oldest son with his trombone lessons...
cool- we're planning to experiment more. Making a youtube video seems like a good idea!
interesting stuff going on here, you deserve more views! i have an idea, that the changing background color, could be replaced with a changing color of the lines, but i dont know how it is to work with. are you a kind of conductor for someone? an orchestra, a band, a choir? but great intiative to put modern technology in it!
I'm definitely interested in playing around with different ideas for how the color changes, like you're saying. I've been using this with a small group of jazz improvisers (there's more description on version 2 of this project)
