Tines! Automatic Harp!

An automatic harp loom that weaves thread into music.

A wooden harp with 17 strings (MIDI 57-84) plays a 48-beat score at 66 BPM. Orbs travel along glowing strings, plucking Karplus-Strong notes with 4.5s reverb. Touch any string to pluck yourself and bloom particles.

The Loom Workshop (bottom-left):

  • THREAD COUNT + rate /s with fill bar
  • 5 upgrades: Looms, Spindles, Dye Vats, Patterns, Silk Road
  • Each purchase flashes and raises rate — thread becomes music

Audio — why v1:
Classic Karplus-Strong pluck buffers, no filter blend tricks, natural decay to ∼10% over 3s frequency-compensated. Dry 0.72, wet 0.5, reverb send 0.5. It breathes.

Touch to begin. Spinning.


DEVELOPER NOTES:

This build is entirely in HTML5 and based on a Unity prototype.

Let me know in the comments what desired improvements or bugs you experience and we will update it for Version 2.

Tines! Automatic Harp is free to play.
