Why not take a short break from fast-paced games and high score chasing? Download this music box and turn your Playdate into a tiny musical instrument!

Select one of the well-known tunes included in the app and start turning the crank to advance the music. You can also get creative and compose your own short song with the built-in editor.
See the official instructions for how to install this on your device.

  • Manual crank: play the tune forwards (or backwards!) by manually turning the crank.

  • Wind-up crank: first turn the crank a few times to wind up the music box before the tune auto-plays for a while. The auto-play speed can be selected freely.

  • Compose your own tunes by manually toggling notes on the cylinder on or off.

  • Adjustable tune lengths: each song can be between 20 and 128 notes.

  • All 18 notes in the music box can be individually tuned for each songs: you can use notes between C3 and B6, including semitones.

If you created a cool tune, feel free to share it with others! You can access the individual files by connecting your Playdate to a computer and booting up in data disk mode. The tunes are located in the directoryData -> user.???.com.tizianzeltner.musicbox -> tunes.
User generated song files can be found and uploaded here.
