Minichord Lab

Pitch-class clock

Every chord as a shape. Octaves fold away, so every C sits at twelve o'clock. Moving a chord to another root turns its shape, and swapping major for minor flips it over.

Connect the minichord, or try the test chords below.

Each chord you play lands here, with how it got there from the one before.

Clock

Notes sit at their exact pitch, so in an unequal temperament they land a little off the marks. With a 19- or 31-note temperament on the minichord, the clock follows it.

Test chords

These only draw. The minichord makes its own sound.
