inspired from a few years of travel, i built something that aims to bridge the gap between modern western music with historical and global tunings.

the modern western mode of 12 Tones Equal Temperament (12-TET) is the default and likely the one you are most familiar with. once comfortable with the ui, i recommend exploring other N-TET versions to see what what harmonies your intuition guides you towards!

to better help you understand these N-TET modes, there is a 2D geometric visualizer that will computes the geometric shape of your chord and match it against common chord classes (major, minor, 7ths, 9ths, etc.)

the 2D version uses a realtime 2D convex hull algo.

there is also a 3D Tower version that hacks around the 3D convex hull algo (looks accurate but not accurate)

there is also some basic synth sound design implemented as well.

please enjoy!
