100 Days of UI Sounds

Day 5

Day 5: Source Material Exploration

Building a simple chatbot UI system from an arpeggiated synth (Plugin Alliance’s excellent-sounding Knifonium emulation). I sometimes wonder whether harmonic or melodic gestures that “say something” to me will be interpreted the same way by another person. These sounds are meant to be functional, after all, so it would be problematic if a melody that sounds like “Hello” to me sounds like “Goodbye” to you.
