This is an interactive version of a real homemade synthesizer

It is made using flash. Each note on the keyboard was recorded seprately So it plays just like the real thing.

The reason for the strange keyboard is beacuse it is tuned in 'just intonation'. This form of tuning gives perfect harmonys.

Here are a few tips to help you navigate the keyboard.

Octaves are stacked vertically
White is the root note
Yellow is the 5th
Purple is the 4th
Red and blue are more major
Orange and green are more minor
Follow the colours whithout mixing major and minor and it should sound pretty harmonious
