About this maqam
How it works
- Maqams defined by intervals in cents `core.js:4` (1200¢=octave, 150¢=¾ tone). Frequencies via `freq = base × 2^(cents/1200)` `core.js:10`.
- WebAudio `AudioContext` + `OscillatorNode` (sine/triangle) plays microtones accurately — no samples, pure synthesis, zero download.
- Canvas wheel maps cents→angle `core.js:20`, click to hear degree. Sequencer stores degrees, plays via scheduled oscillators.
- Private & offline: PWA `sw.js`, no server, no analytics. Export via `MediaRecorder` to WAV.
