Equal temperament synthesizer

An equal temperament synthesizer organizes musical pitches so that each octave is divided into 12 equal parts called semitones. This system allows instruments to play in any key with consistent sound quality, facilitating modulation and harmony across different keys. The synthesizer generates these notes electronically, sampling or calculating frequencies to produce precise pitches. While equal temperament slightly compromises pure intervals found in natural harmonies, it provides a versatile framework widely used in modern music production, enabling seamless key changes and a cohesive sound across diverse musical styles.
