Q-P to go down an interval
A-; to go up an interval

z through / are also the same note

any key press will trigger the current note to play

Seems like the intervals are mathematically defined as ratios instead of using the equidistant
scale,
Q,A: down, up an octave (1:2)
W,S down, up a perfect fifth (2:3)
E,D down, up a perfect fourth (3:4)
4:5 and 5:6 are essentially major and minor thirds, so...
4/5 * 5/6* 3/4 =
zfgdq is a major triad, (starting and ending on the root)
zgfdq is a minor triad
probably an n to n+1 ratio? the higher ratios don't correspond to musical intervals very well

yea n to n+1 is right, this is an attempt to create a perfectly tuned instrument with no
dissonance

so I just pressed down q and now I am afraid if this shit is even capable of damaging my
headphones

nah, the frequency just shoots down to like .01 hz if you hold any of the top row keys

Modern music (I mean more modern than Gregorian chants) is a compromise between melodic intervals
defined by exponents (which sound equal-spaced) and intervals defined by ratios (which sound
harmonious.)
If you define every note by intervals, you'll get the perfect fifths and fourths, but melodies
may sound a little strange.
Modern pianos are tuned with an equidistant scale purely based on exponents, so the intervals are
very slightly dissonant. (I can't hear the difference)

Keyboard instuments in Baroque times were tuned using different systems of "Well-tuning" (as
Bach's The Well-tuned Clavier) which modified intervals to be more harmonious. An interesting
side effect is that every scale had slightly different intervals, for example a C major scale
would have different intervals than a D major scale. Different systems of Well-Tuning would make
certain keys or families of keys sound better.
(Though that's all second-hand knowledge for me, I never actually learned the ratios or
techniques used for Well-Tuning, and my ear isn't good enough to pick up subtle differences)

It sounds like you're inventing a system of well-tuning.

I don't think that's what this would be, since none of the individual notes are even defined.
Rather than staying on the notes it bounces around and in between them. if you hold o and k for
example the pitch changes by much less than a half step each time

M3 + m3 + m3 is a minor seventh chord, the highest note should be a major second less than an
octave.
4/5 * 5/6 * 5/6 * x = 1/2
4*5/(6*6) = 20/36
20/36 * x = 1/2
x = 36/40 = 9/10
z fggl q
is a minor seventh.

Yes, it would require more work to actually define each note in the scale if you want to play
music with your system, but it's the start of a well-tuned scale.

there are infinite notes I believe, all frequencies of the form a < x/y < b where x and y have
prime factors no greater than 11 and (a, b) is hearing range

but then
M2 + M2 = M3, so
9/10 * 9/10 = 81/100 very close to 80/100 = 4/5 but not exactly a M3.

hold down A
it sounds like some horror show TV that kills the sidekick
