Experiment With Creating Alternate Musical Scales
Transform A Random Collection of Melody Notes
Add Harmonies, Duration, Velocity For More Complexity

Uses a 5 octave grand piano sound font
Default scale is a middle C octave divided into 96 tones. Tap on any of the tones to hear them.
The subscript on the note name indicates the partial tone change from the whole tone:
+1(up a sixth tone), +2(up a fourth tone), +3(up a third tone),
-1(down a sixth tone), -2(down a fourth tone), -3(down a third tone), -4(down a half tone)
Tap on a tone will cease all the prior ones before playing the tone.
Moving to the next tone within the same tap will sound the tone while allowing the prior tones to carry over until they fade naturally after 6 secs.

The buttons specific to note details only toggle on when there is a melody note selected.
When a melody note is selected it will display its details (scale note, alpha name, velocity, duration, harmony notes) in the note detail area.
The note detail area gives you 5 slots in each of 5 octaves to add harmony notes to your melody note, each with velocity.
Tap Remove Note to Green, tap on melody or harmony notes to remove them. Note info is remains but it will not play.
Tap Restore Note to Green, tap on melody notes to restore them. The notes will stay removed if its scale note is still removed.

Tap on - to decrease tone secs by .001. Tap -- to decrease secs faster
Tap on + to increase tone secs by .001. Tap ++ to increase sea faster.

When Note Up or down is Green, tapping on the note in note detail area will raise or lower only that one note. 
The main melody note on the far left will cycle thru all 5 octaves.
The harmony notes will cycle thru all the scale notes but stay within their designated octave. Blank harmony notes will get a scale note.

Acoustic Rabbit Hole ,

Satisfyingly Tactile Pitch and Scale Tuning Keyboard!

I have only begun to play with this instrument, but immediately I found that it was awakening my hearing as I simply adjusted a three note chord (playing it note my note). I was surprised how my ears noticed even the slightest sharpening or flatting of the 5th.

With some headphones or with speakers this keyboard-of-sorts has wonderful implications for meditation on specific frequencies; or, for the knowledgeable tuner, to create distinct tunings with a delightfully tactile interface. // 5 out of 5 stars for the sheer exclusivity of this simple, yet original instrument.

I am doing something fun and amplifying this in this with a vibration speaker that I place on my guitar. This adds natural overtones from tone woods of the guitar. I call this “acoustifying” the digital sound. And I am making a video of this on my YouTube channel: The Acoustic Rabbit Hole
