Musical Spirograph Launches Browser Tool With 6 Rotors and 3 Drawing Arms

Summary
Musical Spirograph lets users create generative music in a browser by sending mathematically driven points through concentric rings that trigger notes.
6 virtual rotors, up to 3 simultaneous drawing arms, customizable note sets, 6 synth presets, and adjustable BPM and quantization give the doodling tool broad control over both pattern and sound.
2 octaves of rings can be enabled for a wider range, though the built-in sound engine is described as prone to clipping and artifacts and lacks MIDI output for external instruments.
The project packages Spirograph-style geometric visuals and generative composition into a lightweight browser experience aimed more at soothing experimentation than polished music production.
