This application provides a novel visual representation of the state space of microtonal chords, allowing you to manipulate and experiment with them in real-time. It is completely open source software written with Visual Studio Code, and you are allowed to modify it and distribute it freely. 

info

A tone clock is a visual representation of a musical chord, displaying the individual pitches as angles on a clock-like diagram. The left half allows you to control one directly, and with this you can see and explore the relationships between various chords.

The right half features a model of harmonic entropy of my own design, and is meant to represent the consonance of every possible chord shape. Points on this diagram are 3-note chords or triads, and different positions correspond to different harmonic qualities.

controls

What if there were more features

like if the feature count was higher

maybe if the number of things you could do were a bigger number

such as, for instance, if you could do things that are different from the other things that you can already do

Hope this helps
