Music Maker

TheRedEngineer transforms Minecraft into a digital audio workstation with this innovative music composition system that uses minecart automation to play custom-created melodies. The massive piano-like board features black and white sections representing different notes, while green carpets serve as programmable markers determining which notes play during automated performances. This visual programming approach makes music creation intuitive—place carpets to compose, remove them to rest, and rearrange for endless musical possibilities. The minecart rail system acts as a playhead, triggering notes sequentially as it passes over carpet markers, creating timing through spatial arrangement rather than complex redstone delays. The system supports full melodies with proper note duration based on carpet spacing, allowing everything from simple tunes to complex compositions. Multiple rail lines could enable harmony and chord progressions, though the base design focuses on melodic construction. The redstone underneath uses note blocks with careful pitch adjustment, creating a range of tones that approximate real musical scales. This democratizes music creation in Minecraft, requiring no knowledge of traditional notation or redstone expertise. Players simply arrange carpets in patterns that visually represent their desired melody, then launch a minecart to hear their creation performed automatically.
