Tritone Paradox revisited

Now that I’ve coded the basic idea of how the paradox works, I am looking to fine tune the code to make the sounds smoother.

For the effect to work best, I should set the synth to a sine wave.

Three extra octaves

Adding these octaves would make the switch between octaves smoother.

To add new octaves, I need to look at the MIDI numbers and the respective notes.

I inputed:

12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 66

These are my starting notes.

They will be incremented with time.

Smaller increments

This is simple to do because I am using variables so I only need to change one value. And it applies for all the notes.

I changed it to 0.0155

Sustain Time

This is for the initial tone played. It needs some maths. The default bpm is 60 so one beat takes 60/60=1 second.

Easy.

Now I can do this indefinitely but Soundclloud has a limit on how many minutes I can upload. I will stick to 60 now.

The Decay time is hard coded to 50, so I will keep it 50

It all sums up to 110 seconds
