    • Design a melody using this process and figure out an algorithmic way to generate it.
    • Record bits of spoken word and loop them to create music. See SoundRecorder() Looper
    • Use sound samples and manipulate their playback rate() to control pitch instead of the oscillator.
    • Try implementing a different scale with different pitch ratios: More about scales.
    • Play with Timbre and make use of p5 Sound's post-processing features: Delay, Filter, Reverb, Convolver etc.
