Harmonium Wii is a musical tool for creating melodies on a 16x16 grid within a pentatonic scale. On top of this already addictive concept, you can liven things up by enabling Conway's Game of Life.
The concept behind Harmonium was inspired by André Michelle's similar application, Tonematrix, available on his website.

v1 beta3 2009/07/07
- On July 7th, 2009, I finally secured a job, which would mean limited time for working on homebrew projects. Despite my desire to release a full version 1, I decided to release a harmonium v1 beta3 as it is, with the understanding that it is still a work in progress. Compared to the original release, the beta3 version has undergone significant improvements, including grid shifting, grid history, grid saving and loading, additional evolution modes, and UI changes. The playback system now utilizes only one ASND voice per column, resulting in a smoother and more even sound playback. Unfortunately, some aspects were left unaddressed, such as fixing the tuning to 440Hz, adjusting software mixing for constant loudness, further tweaking the UI, and a few other minor items. I hope that the beta3 release of harmonium will still provide enjoyment, even though the final version 1 may still be some time away.
- Changes:
- Save/Load.
- New software mixing.
- Probably more... (will add later).
v1 beta2 2009/06/11
- Implemented a few features I'd like feedback on before implementing the rest and releasing v1.
- New features:
- Adjustable tempo.
- Adjustable volume.
- 2 new GoL modes.
- Grid shifting.
- 64 grid history.
- New timing mechanism means even playback.
- Typematic to make grid shifting and history browsing faster and easier.
v1 beta 2009/05/17
- Initial Release.
