Ragapeggiator is currently a work in progress.
It's a simple scaling device with the 10 modes or 'Thaats' of Hindustani Classical music stored as presets. It's ideally meant for composers and musicians who lack instrumental training but still wish to explore and study Hindustani ragas.
+ This device maps a selected mode to the white keys of the piano roll allowing you to play the thaat/raga without worrying about hitting a sour note.
+ 'Tonic' allows you to set any of the 12 notes of the octave as your root note and still play on the white keys starting on C.
For example, the setting D - Kalyan maps the actual scale (D E F# G# A B C#) to (C D E F G A B) on the keyboard. Playing complicated scales is now a cakewalk
+ 'Reset' sets the device back to C Chromatic and also reloads the original scales (if altered)
+ The modes can be altered through the interactive grid and can be saved as a standard .adv preset in your user library (see screenshot for example). Pressing the Reset button or reloading the device restores the original settings.
Named 'Ragappegiator' because, the final product will have many more features including sequencing, arpeggiator and ascending/descending scales making it closer to a raga playing assistant.
Till then enjoy this "beta".
