This is very cool. I can immediately imagine something like this being useful in copy of Logic or Live. Very nice way to make a score tangible in 3D, and there's lots of fun stuff you could do with such a technique and generative + audiovisual approaches.

Couple of questions:

1) Have you thought about split view? Split view would be nice (front and back), hard to follow the playhead through the loop otherwise as it becomes hidden halfway through.

2) What do you think about some kind of piano roll? The way you encode pitch into color with a keyboard works but it's a little incompatible with the piano roll idiom conventionally used in most DAW software. Would be very cool to have a 3D piano roll.

This is a cool idea. A first step before first party integration into a piano roll could be a vst with midi output. I know this can be done because of plugins like Xfer's Cthulu. I'd pay for that!

Yeah it would be cool to make a VST version, a few people have asked for that. In the meantime it is possible to ouptut midi from LudoTune in the browser and connect it to a DAW via a virtual midi device.

Split view is an interesting idea, hadn't considered that. I was thinking of maybe a cinematic playback mode though where the camera rotates and you can switch to different angles. And yeah potentially some kind of piano roll representation could be cool to have alongside the 3D, so people can see (and maybe select / edit) cubes that way too. Not sure how to make a 3D piano roll though.
