Hypsibius is going to be a music tracker with pluggable notions of tuning and temperament, which will permit historical tunings such as just intonation or quarter-comma meantone, microtonal tunings such as nineteen equal temperament or fifty-three tone equal temperament, and even non-octave-repeating tunings like the Bohlen-Pierce scale or Wendy Carlos' Alpha and Beta scales.
This is in a very early state, but the plan is to build the GUI with brick
and do the sounds with csound
. Some early scale files (which will define the scales used by Hypsibius) can be found in the data/scales
directory.
