the interval between a note and the one vibrating twice as fast is called an octave (e.g., 880 Hz)<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>the way the air is vibrated (timbre): two different instruments playing the same note produce a different sound<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6>According to culture and convention, a temperament (set of notes) is determined, which can be equal (regular intervals) or not, but also just (simple mathematical ratios) or with a deliberate inaccuracy (to facilitate tuning instruments and transposition); this is the case in Western music, which follows a temperament that divides the octave into 12 equal intervals called semitones. For an ear accustomed to this music, music with a just temperament or an unequal temperament may sound out of tune. Notably, there are microtonal musics that divide the octave into more than 12 intervals (e.g., Indian, Turkish, Arabic music&#8230;).<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;17256&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; max_width=&#8221;50%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;15px&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6>From these 12 semitones, 7 notes were named (A = la, B = si, C = do, D = re, E = mi, F = fa, G = sol), and their alterations (sharp (#) = one semitone above, and flat (\u266d) = one semitone below). Some notes are separated by a tone &#8211; i.e., two semitones &#8211; (e.g., between C and D), and others by a semitone (e.g., between E and F). In this temperament, some notes are equivalent in frequency and played the same way on an instrument, but require different notation depending on the context (e.g., F# = G\u266d); this is called enharmony. An octave number is also added to distinguish notes separated by one or more octaves (e.g., C3, G#2&#8230;).<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;17423&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; max_width=&#8221;75%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;15px&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<div>\n<div class=\"flex gap-2 w-full sm:max-w-[850px] overflow-x-auto scrollable-horizontal\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<div class=\"message_content_1332 fireworks fireworks-llama-4.0-maverick thinking-block-collapsed\">\n<div>\n<h6>An interval is the distance between two notes. The usual intervals in Western music are defined by the distance between two notes whose names are consecutive in the order of the notes (C, D, E, F, G, A, B), regardless of the alterations (sharps or flats) that may be applied to them. For example, when we talk about an interval of a second from a C, the arrival note will always be a D: D\u266d for a minor second, D for a major second. Similarly, a third starting from a C# will always end on an E: E for a minor third, E# (enharmonically equivalent to F) for a major third.<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"flex gap-2 w-full sm:max-w-[850px] overflow-x-auto scrollable-horizontal\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<div class=\"message_content_1332 fireworks fireworks-llama-4.0-maverick thinking-block-collapsed\">\n<div>\n<h6>A chord is a set of notes played simultaneously, as an assembly of intervals. The most harmonious and commonly used chords in music are built by superimposing thirds; for example, the C major chord (C, E, G) is the assembly of a major third (from C to E) and a minor third (from E to G), the sum of the two intervals being a perfect fifth (from C to G). The simplest chords are made up of three notes (triads), but more complex ones can also be found with four notes (tetrads) or more. Like intervals, the names of the notes making up a chord must be different; for example, a chord made up of the notes C, C#, and F is actually made up of the notes C, D\u266d, and F.<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"flex gap-2 w-full sm:max-w-[850px] overflow-x-auto scrollable-horizontal\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<div class=\"message_content_1332 fireworks fireworks-llama-4.0-maverick thinking-block-collapsed\">\n<div>\n<h6>Unlike a piano keyboard, for example, Exquis&#8217; hexagonal keyboard is isomorphic: this means that the intervals and therefore the chords always have the same shape regardless of the starting note, which facilitates visualization and thus learning and practice of harmony.<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_phone=&#8221;50&#8243;][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;MIDI&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;17253&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; max_width=&#8221;50%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6>MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a universal language that allows electronic or software instruments to exchange musical information:<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6>Notes (Note-On when triggered and Note-Off when a note is stopped) and their absolute pitch (e.g., C3, G#2&#8230;)<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Relative pitch of notes (Pitchbend), typically controlled by a Pitchwheel on standard MIDI keyboards<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Key pressure (Aftertouch or Channel Pressure), allowing control over parameters<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Controls (Control Change = CC) to pilot effects (e.g., via a Modwheel, potentiometers&#8230;) or trigger actions (e.g., record)<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>A clock to synchronize between devices (e.g., tempo)<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>An additional control to change timbre (Program Change = PC)<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div class=\"flex gap-2 w-full sm:max-w-[850px] overflow-x-auto scrollable-horizontal\">\n<div class=\"w-full\">\n<div class=\"message_content_1332 fireworks fireworks-llama-4.0-maverick thinking-block-collapsed\">\n<div>\n<h6>MIDI values are expressed between 0 and 127 (since they are encoded on 7 bits) and are transmitted on 16 channels.

Effect plug-ins allow modifying a sound injected into the input: Reverb, Delay&#8230;<\/h6>\n<h6>A plug-in does not work alone: it needs to be hosted in compatible software, such as a DAW like Ableton Live or the Exquis app; in this software, a button allows opening the plug-in&#8217;s user interface (UI) to make adjustments or select a preset.<\/h6>\n<h6>Some plug-ins are also available in Standalone version, meaning they can be used without a host.<\/h6>\n<h6>Today, the most widely used plug-in formats (and supported by the Exquis app) are:<\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6>Virtual Studio Technology (VST), now in its 3rd generation (VST3), widely used and compatible with Windows and macOS<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Audio Unit (AU), a format exclusively designed and optimized for macOS, iPadOS, and iOS<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_phone=&#8221;50&#8243;][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Presets&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6>A plug-in preset is a pre-recorded configuration of all the parameters of a plug-in, like a &#8220;snapshot&#8221;: when a preset is loaded, all the plug-in settings automatically switch to the saved values. Plug-ins usually offer a preset browser in their user interface.<\/h6>\n<h6>Within the Exquis app, an Exquis preset (.xqipreset) is a kind of &#8220;macropreset&#8221;; it contains not only the state of all the parameters of a plug-in, but also other information such as the note layout of the Exquis keyboard to use, or whether the Exquis app communicates with the plug-in in MPE or not.<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_phone=&#8221;50&#8243;][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Effects (FX)&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6>An effect (FX) in music is a processing applied to a sound signal (voice, instrument&#8230;) to modify its character, texture, space or intensity, in order to embellish or transform the original sound.

It&#8217;s a help for playing and recording in rhythm and navigating the bars of a song.<\/h6>\n<h6>Typically, a different sound (often higher pitched) is used to identify the first beat of a bar (in 4\/4 time: 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4&#8230;), an important moment where a strong beat is usually placed (kick drum, chord&#8230;).<\/h6>\n<h6>The Exquis app features a sound metronome.<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_phone=&#8221;50&#8243;][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Quantization&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6>The quantization is a common function in DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) and MIDI sequencers. It automatically adjusts the timing of notes to align them to a grid with a more or less fine resolution.<\/h6>\n<h6>Like the time signature, the values of this grid are expressed in divisions of time (e.g. 1\/4, 1\/8, 1\/16&#8230;), sometimes combined with a percentage to indicate the degree of repositioning.<\/h6>\n<h6>For example, setting the quantization to 1\/4 means that each beat (interval between two metronome clicks) is divided into four equal parts, and each element is then repositioned to the beginning of the closest segment.<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;17130&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;15px&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">Example: 4 notes before (top) and after (bottom) quantization of Note-On to 1\/4<\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: left;\">Depending on the settings offered by the software used, it is possible to quantize Note-On, Note-Off, note length&#8230; but also to quantize before or after recording. The Exquis app allows quantizing Note-On, before or after recording.<\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: left;\">Most modern music is created using the 1\/16 value, to place up to 4 sounds per beat and thus cover a wide range of rhythms, from a simple kick drum on every beat to syncopated rhythms (combination of rhythms with sounds on the beat, between beats, and just before or just after the beat) that give a dancing feel.<\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: left;\">The use of quantization is preferred to accurately place accompaniment instruments (percussions, chords&#8230;), and rather disabled to allow expressive solos to take liberties. It is also preferable to superimpose different rhythms, quantized to different values to create rich and interesting songs.<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_phone=&#8221;50&#8243;][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;MIDI Panic (!)&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6>The MIDI Panic function, or All Notes Off (MIDI CC #123), often associated with a danger or exclamation mark icon, allows stopping all notes on all MIDI channels.<\/h6>\n<h6>This function can be useful if a note remains stuck indefinitely, meaning its Note-Off, usually sent when releasing a key on the MIDI controller used, did not arrive at its destination. The MIDI Panic function sends a Note-Off to all notes on all MIDI channels, thus stopping any recalcitrant note.<\/h6>\n<h6>Most plugins and software, especially MPE ones, like the Exquis app, have this function, sometimes accompanied by the All Sound Off function (MIDI CC #120) that stops all sound by resetting the audio engines.<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_phone=&#8221;50&#8243;][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;CV and modular synths&#8221;][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;&#8221;]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[\/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\n<h6>The Control Voltage (CV) is an electrical voltage used to control various parameters of a synthesizer (note pitch, volume, timbre&#8230;).

Very often the base note of the first chord, it is the one that the piece is brought back to regularly. By default, it is champagne-colored on the Exquis keyboard.<\/h6>\n<h6>A scale is a selection of notes that gives the tone to a piece; major for a playful feel, minor for a more serious feel, dominant Phrygian for an &#8220;oriental&#8221; feel&#8230; Try different scales and follow the keyboard colors to compare their musical colors!

Based on the recording of Loops (to be able to quickly compose contemporary music and improvise live), the Exquis app uses a cyclical view of time, expressed in bars and beats: the duration of each Loop and Snap is represented by a circle, with 12 o&#8217;clock being the first beat of the first bar of a Loop or the start of a Snap.<\/h6>\n<h6>From this cyclical view, a chronology is built by making periodic moments succeed each other for defined durations, either manually by controlling loops live or automatically: this is the function of Snaps, for which a duration and a follow-up action are determined (which Snap will be played next).<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_tablet=&#8221;50&#8243; custom_height_phone=&#8221;50&#8243;][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;<em>How to pronounce Exquis&nbsp;?<\/em>&#8220;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;17440&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; max_width=&#8221;50%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;15px&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]&#8221;Exquis&#8221; is the French word for &#8220;exquisite&#8221;, to be pronounced \\\u025bk.ski\\, or &#8220;exkey&#8221;.

Devices like mixers are generally designed this way, with a significant range for reducing gain and a more limited range for increasing it.<\/h6>\n<h6>Also, don&#8217;t forget to adjust the pan of your tracks to better identify the instruments: it is common to place percussive instruments (drums) and soloists (lead, vocals&#8230;) more towards the center, while distributing the accompaniment around (e.g., bass on the right, chords on the left).<\/h6>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221;
