Scanatron is a musical toy that allows children and adults the ability to create music by scanning colors in the world around them, without the need for any music theory knowledge.
You control the 3 parts of the song
Scan Something Red to hear the rhythm…
Scan Something Green to hear the melody…
Scan Something Blue to hear the harmony…
Scan any of the colors again to level up the corresponding part of the music…
But don’t wait too long, over time they will fade so keep scanning to keep it going… or don’t and create a whole new sound! The choice is yours.
64 unique music variations to discover!
