Show HN: Just intonation keyboard – play music without knowing music
I want to say first off that this is super cool, and I really applaud you for shipping it. The tones sound pretty great on my machine, and the button pressing is good. I don't detect any jank or latency like I frequently do with web-audio.That being said I have a few constructive critiques.First is I wouldn't say it's intuitive. Having the harmonics ascending from right-to-left breaks my brain. Wait, on second look they are kind of scattered about in a somewhat random way? Why are 5 and 3 so far from each other? I might like it if this was laid out in a lattice or some kind of regular structure. I don't doubt that with practice and reading I could learn it but, IMO, if I have to read an instruction manual I'm already checked out..Second, there needs to be some kind of indication at where I'm at in terms of the internal state of the multiplied ratios. So if I've stacked on 3 consecutive 2/3, the only feedback I get is when I hit a note.. and I might forget where I'm at in the "pitch space". You could just have a simple "stack" at the top that shows the last applied ratio, and maybe the final product or quotient next to it.
