	peppermint rain perhaps it is too sticky. this is a simple first step of music. perhaps a video could add interest. it is an idea. thank you for an always comment. 0x0 Check out my latest song called futatsu 0x01

	tunetoys sounds like an interesting software. it felt to me like this took a little while to get going. right around the 1:00 mark it really started to mesh for me and got all exciting and then it started winding down already! it's a great little arpeggio line. i hope you will develop this more. :-) Check out my latest song called Deep Majesty

	limited software it is a short word, therefore it created short music from it. an important post-processing step for this music is to add repeats. it was a forgotten step today. perhaps a repeat in a good place can be added. and a new section for development. it can be xyzzy version 2. thank you for interest in these experiments. 0x0 Check out my latest song called futatsu 0x01

Yes!
Very interesting sounds. I, like Kassia, like the transition at 1.00, the tune becomes less staccato and there is what seems to be a build up to a crescendo or a change of musical tone. You should work on it I think.

Using a longer word sometimes works, you do get a longer midi, but it is often too complicated to do anything with!

I'm really glad to see others using this software. I really like it.

choose words carefully
it is important to experiment with input to achieve useful output with tunetoys. many attempts. much studying of his algorithm. finally it was decided to use four-letter words to enhance the timing of measures. the word became "xyzyic42". it seems that the "xyzy" created a slow movement. "ic42" created excitement and arpeggios. i prefer the second half as well. perhaps a version 2 will emerge. more work is needed on input and output. it was amusing to return to this software after years. thank you for awakening the memory. 0x0

	it is a high bar davajonah creates music very skillfully. it is exciting to learn from so many. perhaps i will hear new music from henke soon, as well? perhaps it will also be a tunetoy piece. thank you for listening. 0x0 Check out my latest song called futatsu 0x01

	Tune toy now Im gonna have to check it out! You always amaze me with the complex siplicity you expose, if that makes any sense,I enjoyed! Check out my latest song called when its love

	paradox is good it is true. simplicity is very complicated to create well. however, egobandit, you are an artist. you understand this well. it is very flattering if you recognize the complex simplicity here. thank you for such appreciation. 0x0 Check out my latest song called futatsu 0x01

	Hectic, but visible... Surreal images would welcome this as a backdrop. It seems to be meant for something other than itself; it does not stand alone. It is too scattered, untied, to stand alone. It begs for a responsible partner. Such an equation might make peppermints bloom into roses. I would like to try this tunetoy software. Check out my latest song called Hark, You're Alive!

life is unfinished
it is always an experiment. this is just a beginning. this music has images to give it dimension. however, images are difficult to recreate from memory. it will take creativity and time. these are elusive for ic42. perhaps you will experiment with tunetoys. it will blossom with your touch. please share your bouquet. it will be sweet. 0x0
