"Octaves no longer have to be twice the frequency of the root note. There can be like, 7 or 50 semitones in an octave. The rules of music, thusly, crumble to dust."
- Me, whilst having the idea for this in late 2024
This is a proof of concept library designed to get me in the headspace of making a DAW-like application, and what (on the surface) kinds of music theory+knowledge that might entail.
rather than believing that the rules of music "crumble to dust", i actually think exploring music theory in a more freeform-mathematical sense can help uncover a lot about traditionally taught theory itself! this library is the result of my intention to do just that.
- an implementation over at thrybx_fe
- basic structures defining an "Octave" - THRYBX's idea of the general-est definition for a piano made up of one single octave.
- a visual "piano roll"-esque sequencer that dynamically tries to adapt the key readouts to your custom octaves
- me, i just critically thought about a lot of the rules of music and the general trigonometry of sound waves
