ChordViz

Build your own music visualizer for MIDI & audio

What it does

The visual workspace for music teachers and creators. Turn live MIDI and audio into chord, notation and audio-reactive visuals then record video, audio or MIDI natively. Stream to OBS, TouchDesigner and Resolume for live performance.

The visual workspace for music teachers and creators. Turn live MIDI and audio into chord, notation and audio-reactive visuals — then record video, audio or MIDI natively.

Turn live MIDI and audio into chord, notation, keyboard, theory, and audio-reactive visuals — arranged into a dashboard you build once, save, and reopen every time you play. Record any take as video, audio or MIDI without leaving the app. Names the chord the instant you play it — extensions, inversions and slash chords included. Drag, drop and resize 18 widgets into a dashboard — save it and reopen it exactly as you left it. Record video, audio or MIDI natively — or grab the last 15 seconds of audio you played. Every take is saved and copied to your clipboard. Runs as a self-contained app on Mac and Windows — open it, play, and watch. No DAW required. Play any voicing and ChordViz names it…from chordviz.ca

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
