Musical Chord Waveform Visualizer

Michael Greminger September 28, 2022

Graph of the sound waveform for a C-Major chord and a C-Minor chord.

The EngineeringPaper.xyz sheet below visualizes the waveform generated by various combinations of up to three musical nodes that can be selected by the user. Various combinations of musical notes combine in complex and interesting ways to create the sound combinations that we recognize as chords. For example, you can see the different between a C-Major and a C-Minor chord below:

C-Major Chord Waveform Graph — C-Major chord waveform.

C-Minor Chord Waveform Graph — C-Minor chord waveform.

We can also look at both chords plotted on the same graph:

C-Major with C-Minor Chord Waveform Graph — C-Major waveform plotted with C-Minor waveform.

Try out other combinations of notes in the interactive chord visualizer below.

This musical chord visualizer may also be opened in a separate tab.
