05b_Harmonizer

Description

This patcher will harmonize every note you play on a keyboard controller real time with a major chord (above the note you play). By changing the arguments of the two addition (+) objects, you can create various 3-note harmonies. For example: + 5, and + 10 will create a 3-note quartal harmony; + 1, and + 2 will create a 3-note chromatic tone cluster; + 12 and + 24, will create parallel octaves. Similarly, you might use two subtraction (–) objects, or a combination of + and – to create various chord structures.
