Traditional DAWs bind sound to a single, rigid timeline. Triangles sets it free. Instead of placing notes in time, you place them in space. Every bounce is a note, every triangle a possibility — your geometric universe, playing forever. Triangles is a creative sound toy where you place triangles on a canvas and launch balls that bounce off them, generating sounds as they collide. Arrange, customize, and compose — like painting with sound. Features - Place and arrange triangles freely on a vast field - Balls bounce off triangles and generate sounds - Spatial stereo panning — sounds from the right side of the canvas come from the right - Off-screen sounds are still audible, with deeper reverb as distance increases - Deepening reverb and filtering as you zoom out - Reverb mix and room size are fully adjustable - Multiple ball types with different sounds - Import up to 8 of your own WAV sounds - Scale and key selection for musical harmony - Randomize notes, triangles, and balls instantly - Build music intuitively with copy and paste — like drawing with sound - Freely customize the colors of triangles, balls, and background - Save and load your creations - Relaxing and meditative experience for all ages Manual https://www.detune.co.jp/Triangles_user_manual_en.html
