A Rubiks-Cube Inspired Musical Theory Engine

Ellitone E[64] features an 8×8 LED matrix on the interface that is capable of creating advanced melodies. This musical theory engine is inspired by the legendary Rubiks-cube because each colored side of this cube represents a different musical composition element: scales, chords voicings, rhythms, and tonality.

The user can “twist” and “rotate” the cube by editing the values of 33 control parameters. The so-called cube matrix is not really shaken here but it can be virtually manipulated with the parameters. The results are interesting interactions that are translated into a highly flexible stream of polyphonic notation data.
