Jenn's Visual Pitch Class Vector Calculator

About This Calculator

A simple vector addition calculator for adding pitch class vectors for different discrete Fourier transform components. The magnitude represents the number of occurrences of a pitch class in a set. The phase of a particular pitch class is a function of the Fourier component. Only the non-trivial Fourier components are shown (e.g., for 12 pitch classes per octave, components 7–11 are omitted, as these are redundant with components 1–6).
