Description
This simple patcher will harmonize every note you play on a keyboard controller in real time. It is currently configured to play major chord (above each note you play). By changing the arguments of the addition (+) objects, you can create various 3-note harmonies. For example: + 5 and + 10 will create a 3-note quartal harmony; + 1 and + 2 will create a 3-note chromatic tone cluster; + 12 and + 24, will create parallel octaves; etc. Similarly, you might use two subtraction (–) objects, or a combination of + and – to create various other chord structures.
