Users can collaborate with and build on the work of others via an XML import/export facility. -

It illustrates musical events by analysing and specifically colouring chord intervals (lower harmony keyboard) and melody intervals (upper melody keyboard) in realtime: - chord intervals related to the tonal center established by the first chord root being played. - melody intervals related to the chord root currently being played (upper melody keyboard). - the interval circle above the keyboards highlights the chord currently being played (here: G minor) and also records the chord interval levels of all chords relative to the tonal center (outer interval ring). - the (adjustable) colors represent the absolute semitone distance of the chord and melody notes to the respective tonal center or chord root. Mintavalla is a 64Bit Windows program. It works purely with realtime midi data. -
