Music

Since this is an educational experience, music plays a big part in Musica.  Hence the title.  As Musica is being played the players are exposed to a variety of musical notes and sounds.  There are seven different colored cubes in the game.  Each cube represents a musical note of the scale.  In addition, each cube has four different notes on it: the whole note, the dotted half note, the half note and the quarter note.  As the cube is hit by the ball it makes the sound of the musical note and the beat being displayed.  For example, say the ball hits the C-note cube with the whole note facing up.  The game would play a whole note in the sound of a C.  As the gamers play they are in essence creating music.  At the end of the level a musical score is played.

The patches, samples, and original music were developed with Sound Forge, Cakewalk Pro Audio, Madtracker 2.  Samples will be uploaded soon.
