About this app

*This application is not an application to create an music box sound by reading an existing music file. It is an application that creates a music box sound by putting the sound one by one by your own hand to the last.

It is an application that makes music box with simple operation.
As samples there are some songs of famous songs built in, but this application is interesting is where you can make it yourself. Please enter your favorite songs and enjoy.

Read sample data
Tap the three lines on the upper left to display the menu and select "Load". Please select the built-in data of this application and select a song.

【How to edit】
One line of the song data part corresponds to an eighth note. A white circle indicates that it sounds a sound.
Tap the icon with 4 arrows in the top right to switch between enlarged display and reduced display. When inputting sound, it is easier to input by enlarging it. Tap on a dark circle to turn it into a white circle. When you tap the white circle it becomes a white circle slightly displaced. Tap three times to return to the dark circle. Even if you tap the white circle long, it returns to the dark circle.
From Ver3.9, you can select the edit mode. Before Ver3.8, only the normal edit mode is available.
[Normal edit mode]
Tap the dark circle to change it to a white circle. If you tap the white circle, it will become a slightly offset white circle. Tap 3 times to return to the dark circle. Even if you long-tap the white circle, it will return to the dark circle.
[Move mode]
You can move the white circle by long-tapping it and then dragging and dropping it. It is convenient to move in this mode when you want to correct a semitone shift by one note or a beat shift by one note.
[Eraser mode]
This is convenient for erasing multiple white circles. You can erase it immediately by tapping the white circle. If you drag after long tapping, you can erase the white circle that passed while dragging.
[Common to all modes]
Tap on the right end of the line to display the menu. Tap ︙ long tap to display the context menu. You can copy lines and so on.
Tap the last highlight color part of the song to add an empty line for one bar.

【Make MP3 file】
It corresponds to creation of MP3 file with Ver 1.70.
The save destination is an in-app data area, but it supports sharing by e-mail transmission etc.
The creation method is simple. However, it is necessary to complete the song first. When the song is completed, please select "Create MP3 file" from the menu. A dialog box for entering the file name is displayed. Enter the file name and click the "Save" button to start the conversion work.
Even short songs take about 1 minute to convert, so please wait patiently.
If you click "Watch ads" while waiting to see the advertisement video to the end, the share button will be displayed in the dialog after conversion.

【Import from standard MIDI file】
Supported from Ver3.6. You can import files with the extension mid or midi. However, it depends on the data whether the import will result in a decent music box song. If it is solo piano data, it can be converted into a music box song relatively well, so please try various things.

Ratings and reviews

i used to love using this app to make songs for my music box, it helped a lot! but now all of a sudden the app itself won't open at all. everytime i try to open it, it always says "unfortunately, MusicBox maker has stopped" i tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it still didn't work. i lost everything i was making :( if this can be fixed, I'll put my review at 5 stars!

App is itself is great but I can't insert audio files. Something I really liked about this app when I first discovered it in middle school is that I could insert files, and the app would try to recreate the melody. I would play around with it and it'd be nearly identical to the music I listened to, only in music file form. But now it doesn't seem to work with any of the audio files I have on my phone. I'm kinda disappointed by this turn out, but everything else works just fine.

It's really good, after exploring it more I found most of the features. The only thing I can see to improve would be the "no loop", since when you use it, it cuts at the last note instead of when the song ends, so the last note always feels cut off. Other than that, it's a great app.
