This is exceedingly cool, thank you for putting it out there.
A small suggestion: when you press the purple buttons, it would be neat to see the green numbers change by the multiplier (or have an option to do so). This would let you easily see parts of the keyboard transpose correctly vs not, and what new pitches you get access to. Even sweeter would be a quick animation to show "where the numbers went".
I would also like to be able to have the purple buttons be active only when pressing the keys, so that I could quickly modulate up a just fourth and back. Having to remember where I am in the modulation state is a bit much, and very different from typical musical instruments.
But I've been playing with this for a good while, trying to recreate basic stuff like V7 -> I etc and it's very cool, thanks again.
- ad8e 3y agoThese are great ideas, and I will implement them. In the original design, temporary harmony changes (hold-and-release) was the feature of the thumb keys, but there are no thumb keys here, huh. It's necessary to have stateful harmonic changes, to be able to transition more than a little at a time. But I will add your option too, since it's also useful. I'll need to think about the interface a little bit, since I would either have to add ` or Shift to the keyboard, which will widen it a bit. When you press these new temporary keys (after they're done), I'll make them change the green numbers. That is hard to do with the permanent purple keys, since they need to keep a base state.
