🎶 Music Cultures: Tuning Systems, Timbre and Euclidean Rhythm (2D)
Interactive 2D model of how musical cultures differ in physics: pluck or strum strings whose lengths follow the chosen tuning (12-TET, just, Pythagorean, slendro, pelog, maqam Rast, Chinese pentatonic, Thai heptatonic), hear instrument timbres from stiff strings, metal bars or pipes, read the Plomp-Levelt sensory-dissonance curve, and edit Euclidean rhythms on a clickable ring.
