This is a composer's aid where touching colors on an iPad will produce polyphonic chords.
Colors available come from a 12 tone color wheel that is split into
- Shades
- Tints
- Hues
- Tones
This instrument assumes 12-tone equal temperament as its musical base.
Timbre chosen is arbitrary; however, a Frequency Modulated Synthesized timbre using a 3:1 ratio between and carrier and modulator waves was the aesthetic choice.
Requirements:
- JythonMusic
- An iPad or iPhone with TouchOSC installed
Messages are sent from the iPad to the computer using the Open Sound Control protocol.
