This project was created by Kevin Tayah using Webpack and a Three.js starter project. Earth Piano is a project that displays the instruments of the world with different chord progressions. Select a chord progression and then select an area on the 3D model of the Earth to play the chord progression in that specific instrument.
Visit the config.json file and modify either the countries array or the chord progressions array to add or change any of the countries or progressions. For countries, make sure to enter the longitude and latitude of a country with the instrument of choice to play (instrument must be within MIDI capable instruments, unfortunally a limiation of the MIDI.js library). To add a chord progression add an array of notes as seen in the config.json file, use previous progressions as examples. (See MIDI.js for more examples)
Before you begin, make sure you are comfortable with terminal commands and have Node and NPM installed.
First download the zip of the project and extract it. Then in terminal at that folder type npm install to set things up. To get going run: npm start.
In terminal clone the project into a directory of your choice then delete the git folder to start fresh.
git clone https://github.com/ktayah/earthPiano.git
npm installnpm startThis command will bundle the project code and start a development server at http://localhost:8080/. Visit this in your web browser; every time you make changes to the code the page will refresh. Congratulations, you are good to go!
