X_System

The X_System makes the playing, writing, and learning of music" even when using unconventional tunings" more intuitive, more logical, more expressive, and better sounding. The X_System allows for: different temperaments to be chosen at the flick of a switch; tunings to be dynamically altered at the push of a lever; the use of a special hexagonal button-field that allows for any given interval or chord always to have the same shape on that button-field; consonant chords to have their consonance maximised, whatever the tuning actually chosen; radical changes to be made to the timbral character of tones using a minimal number of controls; a choice of keyboard mappings, which enable for the balance between number of intervals and octaves to be altered.
