Authors

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to create a game, called Beat Box, that teaches the player how to create Hip-Hop drum loops using MIDI technology. In order to achieve this, research had to be done on MIDI hardware, MIDI software, and how to effectively apply technology and games in education. In order to achieve these goals, Beat Box had to be easily accessible, engaging for the player, and played using real music creation hardware (MIDI).
