Interesting project and useful for generative composition

Hello there. This looks interesting, but I think that from a promotional standpoint, your website needs screenshots or a video of the user interface for your program. It's cool…
tachyonbeam on HNYep, that's true. For now there isn't a user interface and doing some youtubes about the API is definitely planned. the API will remain around forever though, and is useful for…

Scale-degree mapping is not new; many sequencers snap to scales
From 2 comments
"music theory aware"? Like...it snaps sequences to scales like every other decent sequencer? I can't actually tell why this is useful from the front page description.
TaupeRanger on HNWhat you've just described after "Nope!" is exactly what I mentioned in my post, which is now downvoted I guess. Many many sequencers let you ask for "4 5 6" and adjust for any…

How does scale-degree mapping handle moving between scale types
From 2 comments
What happens to "6 7 8" in a mapping from (e.g.) a straight minor to a pentatonic scale?
TheOtherHobbes on HNNot if you're moving from one kind of scale to another, as you've said you can. 6 7 8 are functionally different to 1 2 etc in an eight-step key. In fact they're different across…

Neat project! You might find TheoryBoard interesting[1]. It's a midi controller that tries to embed knowledge of scales. [1]:…

Ableton Push

They actually have some cool features to allow multiple scales and scale changes, so intentional accidentals are promoted. This looks a lot like the Ableton Push controllers…

NDLR by Conductive Labs
From 1 comment
This looks a little like the NDLR from Conductive Labs. The NDLR is a hardware box. While you can enter chord progressions into it, it's intended for live performance where you…

This is cool! I've build a much cruder version that I use for generating chord sequences to bring into DAWS: https://github.com/Miserlou/chords2midi It even has voice leading,…
