[_] derivative piano 2719038 Q-P to go down an interval A-; to go up an interval Marked for deletion (old).
>> [_] Anon 2719045 z through / are also the same note
>> [_] derivative piano 2719050 any key press will trigger the current note to play
>> [_] Anon 2719074 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
>> [_] derivative piano 2719094 >># yea n to n+1 is right, this is an attempt to create a perfectly tuned instrument with no dissonance
>> [_] Anon 2719099 so I just pressed down q and now I am afraid if this shit is even capable of damaging my headphones
>> [_] derivative piano 2719102 >># nah, the frequency just shoots down to like .01 hz if you hold any of the top row keys
>> [_] Anon 2719111 >># 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)
>> [_] Anon 2719113 >># 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)
>> [_] Anon 2719115 >># It sounds like you're inventing a system of well-tuning.
>> [_] derivative piano 2719122 >># 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
>> [_] Anon 2719130 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.
>> [_] Anon 2719131 >># 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.
>> [_] derivative piano 2719136 >># 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
>> [_] Anon 2719140 >># but then M2 + M2 = M3, so 9/10 * 9/10 = 81/100 very close to 80/100 = 4/5 but not exactly a M3.
