That’s the plan. Along with touchscreen capabilities that’s the next feature I intend to implement. I’m shooting for sometime in mid-February (got a lot on the schedule before that). Do you have any suggestions for me before I implement this?

Are you planning to extend your tool to enable midi input and display on the harmonic table the notes played with the aid of an external midi master keyboard?

Donations?! I do this for the love of coding! That’s a joke, actually, donations wouldn’t be a bad idea. With the amount of work I had to do just to prototype the VST option, I might outright charge for it. We’ll see when I get there. Thanks for the note!

A VST would be teh awesome. Consider receiving donations in exchange for harmonic table VST updates. Hey, it worked for Frutyloops/FL Studio…

I’ll take that as a note. Its just something I do when I write music…for whatever reason Bb and Eb look correct and D# and A# look weird. I’ll add that as a display feature to add, should be pretty simple. Thanks again.

Thanks! I'm actually working on a VST version...it might be a while. Actually what I'm working on is a larger project to make Processing sketches (and by proxy ALL Java code) functional in the VST environment. I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, depending on whether you use a MAC or PC, you should be able to access you DAW's intruments using an virtual midi connector. If you're on a PC a program call Maple Virtual Midi should work, if you're on a MAC you should be able to use the internal IAC bus. On windows, just install Maple, it will create extra internal ports, then on the Harmonic Tabl, you should be able to select one of the internal ports you just created. On your instrument, or whatever you want to control, just select the input port version of the output you selected in HarmonicTable. Should be a piece of cake, let me know if you have problems with it.

another thing: could you please have all sharps or all flats (or give an option to use one or the other). I don’t like how the harmonic table displays as a little bit of both (was there a reason for that?). If it was all sharps it would be: C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B. If it was all flats it would be: C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab A Bb B. Bb=A# Eb=D#

I wish I could use it with VST instruments and play using more than the default piano.

Great program! It helps with inspiring new songs. And the program makes so much sense (well I suppose that is the nature of the harmonic table). It was a great idea to add the chord mode and chord lock feature.
