Microtonal Grid - Web based 16 step sequencer that can play in any scale or any equal temperament system

16 step sequencer that you can use to play any Equal Temprement music system.

Use the three preset scales to try and compare western music, arabic music, and Bohlen Pierce scale.

Once you are comfortable, you can use the arrows on the left to change the notes (in semitones away from the root note) to make new musical scales, or the controls on the right to change the size of the octave, and number of notes within the octave to make new music systems.

This toy is intented to be an introduction to the world of micro and macrotonal music, removing financial and configuration barriers. Share it to your friends using the share code.

You can turn on Conway's Game of life to make the song evolve by itself through iterations.

Here's a few:

Turn on Conway's game of life for this one :

2X12X0X3X5X7X10X12X15X17X19X22X24X27X29X31X34X36Xg74X12ioXd8gX6wwX1eoX1sXaoX74Xb9sXli8XkxsX6psXsgX35sX0Xiyo

A demonstration of one of the Bohlen-Pierce scales that uses an octave size of 3 times the root note, divided into 13 notes instead of 12.

A demonstration of an Arabic Maqam :

A pulsar, this will loop through multiple states with Conway's game of life :

2X12X0X3X5X7X10X12X15X17X19X22X24X27X29X31X34X36X0X0X2t4X0X6kiX6kiX6kiX2t4X0X2t4X6kiX6kiX6kiX0X2t4X0

I see this pattern in a lot of music that I like, Jazz, Metal and Jazz Metal :

2X12X0X3X6X9X12X15X18X21X24X27X30X33X36X39X42X45Xpa8Xcn4X6bkXcn4X6bkX35sX6bkX35sX1kwX35sX1kwXsgX1kwXsgXe8Xsg
