Name \| Version:	Intonation Shifter 1.3
Author:	Supertramp162
Device Type:	MIDI Effect
Description:	The Intonation Shifter is a Max for Live MIDI device for composers, producers, and sound designers interested in non-standard intonation, microtonality, and alternative tuning systems within Ableton Live. This device allows for flexible tuning control by offering: Base Pitch Adjustment: Redefine concert pitch from A = 440 Hz down to A = 400 Hz, enabling use of tunings such as A = 432 Hz, A = 415 Hz, or any custom reference frequency. Custom Octave Division: Select how many notes make up an octave (from 1 to 24 divisions). Supports Equal Divisions of the Octave (EDO), microtonal subdivisions, and experimental temperaments. Includes a responsive visual display using rotating geometric shapes that reflect the selected octave division and intonation ratio. The visuals are tempo-synced to Ableton Live’s transport for intuitive feedback. (this is something i plan on doing a lot with in the next update which will include frequency ratios built upon tempo). This tool is useful for exploring: - Microtonal composition - Non-Western tuning systems - Just intonation, EDO systems (e.g., 19-TET) - A = 432 Hz ambient or meditative music - Experimental sound design Works well with mono and polyphonic synths and modular integrations
