Microtonal Grid
16 step sequencer that you can use to play any Equal Temprement music system.
Use the three preset scales to try and compare western music, arabic music, and Bohlen Pierce scale.
Once you are comfortable, you can use the arrows on the left to change the notes (in semitones away from the root note) to make new musical scales, or the controls on the right to change the size of the octave, and number of notes within the octave to make new music systems.
Ever wonder what 17 edo sounds like? Just change the number of subdivisions from 12 to 17, and you've got it!
This toy is intented to be an introduction to the world of micro and macrotonal music, removing financial and configuration barriers. It's still in development with many more features to be added, but I feel ready to share this.
