It's amazing how pleasant this is to listen to. I never considered using perlin noise to generate sound.

I do wish that the ripples came up more immediately when the notes are struck. Lagging behind so much made me think they were just random for a while.

Thanks for the comment. It never occurred to me that they appear to lag, maybe it is because I highlight the square in red as it is elevated to start the wave. If I didn't it would the wave shadow would be dark, maybe you wouldn't perceive a lag.

amazing. I want to see what happens when the ripples collide, but they don't quite make it all the way across...

Thanks Rob. The ripples propagate all over, but the shadow fades to become invisible. You can enhance the shadow by changing the "darkness variable in ripples.pde, say from 1000 to 10000.
