Hebdomad
January 3rd, 2017

Hebdomad is a retunable keyboard with sound synthesis controls. It uses the Web Audio API and can be played in most web browsers.
I developed Hebdomad as an easy way to experiment with alternate tuning systems. The world of microtuning and xenharmonic music is intriguing to many musicians, but it can be challenging to get started. Hebdomad provides tuning presets for quick exploration and a custom panel for arbitrary retuning.
Hebdomad is built with JavaScript, jQuery, and
envelope-generator
. The
source code
is available on my GitHub page.
Thank you to everyone who helped me test and document hebdomad. A special thank you to
Jacky Ligon
for his advice on tuning, sound synthesis and instrument design.
