Re: [PD] chord libraries?

No worries, Matt!! One thing I love about this community is, that while there is complete love for newbies-- (e.g. my first (and ugliest!) snare patch I posted to the Facebook group got like 30 likes!!) -- I feel there is also a gentle demand (and sometimes not so gentle) for intellectual rigor,

Re: [PD] chord libraries?

I read in a book about Varese that the (0,1,2,3) tetrachord (all minor seconds) recurs throughout his work. So yeah, I'd consider it worthy :) M On Tue, Nov 03, 2015 at 01:59:59PM -0500, William Huston wrote: > Thanks Matt! > > Yeah, I'm pretty good with the mathematics of permutations and >

Re: [PD] chord libraries?

Thanks Matt! Yeah, I'm pretty good with the mathematics of permutations and combinations... My goal is to be able to generate (and hopefully identify, given a list of MIDI notes) any given chord/inversion. Which somewhat restricts these to "musical" chords. I think a cluster, a tetrachord of

Re: [PD] chord libraries?

I hate to be a pedant/ass about this, but it's important to indicate the scope of application. Most music (I'm not sure about "most songs") doesn't use chords at all – chords are mostly a Western phenomenon (with some important exceptions, e.g. Central Africa). All 29 tetrachord types can be

Re: [PD] chord libraries?

Depends also what you mean by "common 3 and 4 note chords." If you don't count pitch inversions of a chord as the same type (e.g. if you want to be able to say that a major triad is different from a minor triad), there are 19 total 3-note chords in 12TET (to within respacing and transposition),
