Experimental layout based on scales and a variation of the circle of fifths, called the circle of thirds or triads.
USES BLUES SCALE. Diatonic scale version coming up... http://www.furaffinity.net/view/5522731
HOW TO PLAY:
Click and slide your mouse across the keys
The major and minors scales of different keys are laid out horizontally. To play a melody, pick a row of keys and play a melody from the keys in that row. When you want to change the scale your playing with, pick a different row.
Play chords using [1], [2], and [3]
Press these keys to play triad. To play block chords, press all three keys at the same time. To instead arpeggiate the chord, press them one after the other.
The chord that is played depends on what scale you are using. If you are using a Major C scale, you will play a Major C triad. If you are using a Minor E scale, you will play a Minor E triad.
The key and major/minor notation for each scale is labelled on the left.
The chord will be inverted so the keys of said chord follow the last scale note you clicked, meaning as you play higher, the chords will also be higher.
THE THEORY BEHIND THE LAYOUT:
Along the left side you will see a stack of bars labelled C Major, E Minor, etc. This vertical axis follows the circle of thirds. In the circle of thirds, triad chords (such as C Major) will sound more harmonious when paired with other nearby chords. The further apart two chords are, the less harmonious they sound together. For example, C Major and E Minor sound harmonious together, and they are close together in the circle of thirds. C Major and D Major are further apart on the wheel, but they still sound harmonious together, though perhaps not as much. C Major sounds least harmonious with F# Major, and they are on opposite sides of the wheel.
The wheel is drawn vertically for ease of playing and programmability, but it is conceptually circular.
When you pick a chord to play in, you can play it's corresponding scale. Each scale can be played in any key, and most scales have a major and a minor version. So long as you keep your mouse within one row of keys, it will play on the correct scale and you will not press any sour notes
Playing chords with a melody will cause the two to complement one another.
