\nOn may 2017, by thinking about how to construct sonic spaces related by elements other than tones or semitones, I began to implement some research ideas using conventional applications as a spreadsheet program. Little by little I was able to integrate some basic functions as for example, relating frequencies with their respective musical note names and calibrating the cents constants factors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then I realised that the spreadsheet program was too limited for the purpose of reaching more complex tasks. So I decided to develop a more appropriate platform to continue the research. At that point, I turned my research into an object-based computer language, offering the possibility to use many different types of objects as buttons, windows, fields, graphics, etc. In doing so, <\/span>I created the application Which note is it?<\/em>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Which note is it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the application was ready to do some basic calculations, my idea was to extend the research into the possibility of making scales. <\/span>That was the beginning of the Escalador <\/em>platform. <\/em>For more information about how does Which note is it?<\/em> work, <\/span>please click here<\/a>.

The Escalador<\/span><\/p>\n

Escalador<\/em> is a Spanish word. The sense I give to it is on the meaning of a music scale maker. So with Escalador we can make musical scales but also some other important calculations. For more information about how does Escalador <\/em>work, please click here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most exiting things that can be done with Escalador is to make tempered and not tempered scales. For example a scale of 44 elements (notes or frequencies) divided say, for example, by 34 cents.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or a tempered scale of 24 notes from C3 to C5<\/span><\/p>\n

It was very good to see the results of these operations, but one problem emerged, how to hear the sounds?
\n<\/span>As an answer of this crucial question, I thought to implement an application by which we could hear the sounds of the scales produced by Escalador.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the beginning it was interesting to hear the scales, but then I transformed the application on a sort of (electronic) musical instrument. So the result is the Escalador Audio<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now with Escalador Audio we can hear the scales, also play chords finally to make music. For more information about Escalador Audio<\/em>, please click here<\/a>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
