Times Tables. Math Meets Music
See Math, Hear Geometry
Free · Designed for iPad
Transform multiplication into mesmerizing patterns and music. An audiovisual journey where math becomes art and geometry becomes sound.
Discover where mathematics becomes music! Times Tables transforms multiplication into a mesmerizing audiovisual experience that you can see, hear, and play.
Visual Magic - Modular Multiplication Patterns
Watch as mathematical patterns come alive:
- Place 10-200 points around a circle with the slider
- Choose a multiplication table (2×, 3×, 4×, 5×, 6×, 7×, 8×)
- See stunning geometric patterns emerge as points connect
- From simple curves (2×) to mandala-like formations (8×)
The math behind it? Modular arithmetic - the same mathematics used in cryptography and computer science!
Musical Synthesis - ADSR Sound Engine
Hear the mathematics through a sophisticated synthesizer:
- Each multiplication factor maps to a musical note (C major scale)
- Rich 8-harmonic waveform creates warm, analog-style tones
- State-variable filter with resonance for expressive sound
- Professional ADSR envelope (Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release)
- Slider controls both pattern density AND sound brightness
Low slider (10): Dark, warm bass tones with simple patterns
High slider (200): Bright, singing treble with complex mandalas
Three Interactive Modes
1. Basic Tab: Pure visual exploration of mathematical beauty
2. Sound Tab: Play the patterns like an instrument with 4 melodic sequences
3. Color Tab: Rainbow hues dance with the mathematics, plus share your creations
Perfect For
