Online Thummer

A team of students at Curtin University recently completed a project in which they implemented an "Online Thummer"(tm). You go to their web page, use your computer keyboard as if it were a Thummer keyboard, and voila! You can test-drive the Thummer's note-layout online.

That's not just cool -- that's bitchin'.

Any Online Thummer's polyphony is inevitably limited by your computer keyboard's implementation. Some keyboards support only allow certain combinations of button-presses at a time, some keyboards allow other combinations. My laptop's computer keyboard allows all of the major & minor triads in root position, but any 7's or extended chords.

I've asked the student team (a) to add an "about box" describing themselves and their project, and (b) to add the resulting Online Thummer to Thumtronics' web page. I'll make another post when and if this gets done.

Well done, y'all!
