Twelve Tone6.0
Publisher Description
An extensive music composition and analysis tool. An indispensable resource for any musician or music teacher interested in dodecaphonic and set theory analysis.
. Enter a tone row by touching the staff or playing the piano keyboard.
. It lets you know if any notes are repeated by highlighting both notes, checking enharmonic values regardless of octave or accidentals.
. Automatically creates the Prime, Inversion, Retrograde, and Retrograde Inversion Magic Square.
. Constantly updates the Interval Vectors and Circular Analysis of the tone row as you edit it.
. Save your rows (rows may contain from 1 to 12 notes), complete with name and current P, R, I, RI matrix markings. Saved rows appear in a list with their name and midi numbers to help you identify them.
. Share a pdf of the notation, piano keyboard, and circular analysis.
. Watch and listen to your row played with a selected rhythm pattern.
. Playback:
- Prime
- Prime then Retrograde
- Retrograde then Prime
- Retrograde
- Inversion
- Inversion then Retrograde Inversion
- Retrograde Inversion then Inversion
- Retrograde Inversion
. Each can be repeated and transposed with each iteration.
. The Root is kept within an octave above and below the original pitch when looping and transposing.
. Matrix Audio: Hear the pitches as you mark them in the matrix square. The marks indicate the row form in which the pitch belonged; Prime, Inversion, Retrograde, and Retrograde Inversion.
. Lock the prime row and transpose it to C to use the Absolute Pitch Method for row labeling in the matrix.
