Advanced Tutorials

Deep dives into powerful features for experienced users.

In This Section

Microtonal Composition

Explore music beyond the standard 12-note scale. Learn to work with alternative equal temperaments (19-TET, 31-TET), just intonation, and the Bohlen-Pierce scale.

SymbolicPower Algebra

Understand how RMT Compose handles irrational numbers like 2^(1/12) with full algebraic precision. Learn why this matters for accurate tuning and how to leverage it.

Complex Dependencies

Master advanced dependency patterns including multi-property dependencies, branching structures, diamond dependencies, and tempo hierarchies.

Prerequisites

Before starting these tutorials, you should be comfortable with:

What You'll Learn

After completing these tutorials, you'll be able to:

  • Create microtonal compositions using various tuning systems
  • Understand the algebraic precision behind TET calculations
  • Build sophisticated dependency hierarchies
  • Design reusable templates with complex relationships
  • Debug and trace dependency chains
  1. Microtonal - Opens up new sonic territory
  2. SymbolicPower - Understand the math behind the magic
  3. Complex Dependencies - Build intricate compositions

Technical Depth

These tutorials explain not just how to use features, but why they work the way they do. You'll gain insight into:

  • Why pure ratios sound different from tempered intervals
  • How SymbolicPower preserves algebraic exactness
  • The efficiency of the dependency graph system
