Tonnetz Walk
Design notes ↓Watch harmony take a walk: a single chord glides forever through the Neo-Riemannian lattice by smooth voice-leading — P, L and R transforms, two notes held, one note stepping. Autonomous, never the same path twice.
Design notes
This is an autonomous generative walker, not a click-to-hear grid. A self-driving harmonic process chooses P/L/R transforms over time and the lattice animates around it. Each transform holds two common tones and moves a single voice by a small step — so the pad glides rather than jumps. The path through the lattice is the musical form.
