XenNote

by zhenlige

XenNote adds note blocks that can be tuned to microtonal and xenharmonic scales, not only the regular twelve-tone tuning.

What it does

Note blocks added by XenNote support regular tunings as well as just intonation and other microtonal or xenharmonic systems, including equal-step divisions. Notes are represented by their ratio to an original sample pitched at F4, which fits how most instruments are sampled. A xenharmonic note block is crafted with a recipe listed in the mod. Fabric API must be installed alongside it on Fabric and Quilt. XenNote runs on client and server, and its files cover 1.21 – 1.21.3 under the MIT License, so it is open source.

Key features

  1. Microtonal note blocks

    New note blocks play pitches outside the standard twelve-tone scale, using microtonal and xenharmonic tunings.

  2. Just intonation support

    Note blocks can follow just intonation ratios as well as equal-step tunings, which are mapped using GPV tuning.

  3. Crafted xenharmonic blocks

    The xenharmonic note block is made with a crafting recipe, so it is available in survival without commands.

What the author says

A mod which adds new note blocks that supports microtonal/xenharmonic tunings (currently JI and any equal-step tunings). Notes are represented as the ratio to the original sample (F♯4\12 for most instruments). In an equal-step tuning, notes are mapped using the GPV of the tuning.
