Rotating a pentagon or a heptagon on the circle of fifths plays a chromatic scale, a result I found rather surprising! This visualization was written in Java using a graphical library called Processing (), and Java’s built-in MIDI library for sound (package ). ________ Interested in learning more about algorithms and how to program?
