Fractal Tune Smithy Information

Plays tunes as intricate as snowflakes. Choose one and transform it by varying the parameters to make it into your own tune. You can save the tunes in MIDI file format e.g. for background music for web pages, and send them as musical e-cards.

Includes authentic tunings from the SCALA archive for Early music, Jazz, Indian music, gamelans, ethnic tunings, and many tunings invented more recently, whch can be selected from drop lists. Make your own scales in hertz, cents or ratios notation.

Many retuning features of interest to composers, musicians, and microtonalists. - tonic shifts; legato monophonic playing in any tuning (if you have it in equal temperament); explore the musical geometry scales of Erv Wilson; apply separate tunings to regions of midi keyboard or midi in parts; mouse theremin; polyrhtythm metronomes, ...

Also used for music therapy in connection with Barbara Hero's Lambdoma keyboard. Lambdoma users need to purchase the Midi Relaying level. Also if you use it in this connection, please send an e-mail to me, Robert Walker,support@robertinventor.com to let me know that you are purchasing it in this connection, so that she can be credited. Thanks.

You can play in any of the tunings from your p.c. keyboard as well as a music keyboard. Some such as the Japanese Koto scale are particularly good for improvisation - anything you play sounds good!
