request: don't stick to 12-tone equal temperament

wolftune opened this issue · comments

As the wonderful harmonics demonstration shows, music is not limited to the 12-tone equal-tempered tuning. Of course, opening these things up to all varieties of tunings would be a huge universe of possibilities, but here's where I'd suggest starting:

  • Go all the way to the 8th harmonic in the harmonics (ideally an option to go all the way to 16). Why stop at the most Western familiar harmonics? The 7th is good too, etc
  • Get Kandinsky to be more like a fluid thing that doesn't jump between notes of a scale, so more like composerssketchpad.com
  • Offer other tunings or user-set tunings for Song Maker and Melody Maker
