Exploring tonal space

This article focuses on the steps required to apply the "Tonal Space" interval system to a novel musical keyboard instrument.

Tonal Space is a concept of musical intonation control that incorporates all modes of the overtone scale while allowing free modulation through twelve chromatic keys. The four-part "Expanding Tonal Space" series (Parts I through IV) explains the development of Tonal Space in detail.
