Scale Illusion
It’s a demonstration of Diana Deutsch’s scale illusion, wherein your brain essentially chooses pitch based grouping cues over location based ones. It works best with headphones on, although it’s also pretty cool on speakers that are modestly spaced. There’s a built in tone generator to play with, or you can kill the audio and route the midi to the DAW of your choice and feed it to a couple hard panned synths. The score on the bottom reflects what’s actually being piped to each channel. Also, try muting and unmuting channels, to get a sense of what’s going on, and I *may* have messed up some of the modal intervals… so no promises. Patch here.
