WoodTroller vs SetClass

WoodTroller is NOT an app to annoy people. It’s an MPE and midi V2 multi touch bar keyboard and midi controller : The MPE touch bar supports multiple notes with individual pitch shift (horizontal movement), pressure and cc74 (vertical movement). WoodTroller has 8 general purpose rotary controls : - Each can send 6 different CC messages to different channels. - Each of the 6 command values can be mapped differently to the full rotary range. - So 1 rotary can control several parameters on the same or on different instruments. - Rotary names, colour, unit, range can all be user set. WoodTroller also has 8 general purpose on-off or push buttons : - Each button can send up to 8 different midi commands (CC, PC, NoteOn, …) to different channels. - This allows to quickly switch multiple midi instruments or devices to another program or to other settings. - Each midi command’s data value can be auto incremented/decremented. - All button names, colour, type can be user set. All settings can be stored in presets in iCloud which yield automatic preset syncing between several WoodTrollers on different devices. WoodTroller is available as stand-alone app and as AUv3 plugin.

Explore the building blocks of modern harmony. This app lets you see, hear and manipulate pitch class sets, the foundation of post-tonal and atonal music theory. EXPLORE • Tap notes on the pitch wheel to build any chord or scale. • See the Forte number, prime form, normal form and interval vector. • Check transpositional and inversional symmetry. • Open the K/Kh complex of any set to see which set classes include it or its complement. FIND • Tap notes on a keyboard, or type a Forte number (3-11, 6-Z44) or pitch-class numbers (0 4 7). • Browse all 224 Forte set classes, with Z-relations, filtered by size. TRANSFORM • Transpose, invert and multiply (M5, M7) any set. • Morph smoothly from one set to another. CREATE • Generate sets by cardinality, symmetry and density. • Arrange sets into rhythmic sequences using P, T, I, R and RI operations, with every inversion level. • Build a serial matrix from rows of 2 to 12 notes. • See each set as geometry in tonal space, with symmetry axes. • Export to MIDI and MusicXML. LEARN • A built-in theory guide. • Analysis examples from Debussy, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Berg, Messiaen and more, with links to scores. Built for students, composers and theorists, from first-time learners to advanced analysis.
