The Lambdoma view in Fractal Tune Smithy let's you play on an arrangement of musical ratios attributed to Pythagoras in which notes all in the same row or column play pure musical harmonies. The particular design and colour of this keyboard is due to Barbara Hero. You can play it using the mouse or the p.c. keyboard. The p.c. keyboard has some limitations as a musical instrument - so only four rows at a time are accessible, and it is also normal to find that many chords of three or more notes can't be played from your p.c. keyboard.

If you want to use this view to its full potential you need Barbara Hero's keyboard - see www.lambdoma.com for details. You will get an unlock key when you purchase the keyboard.

Many users have said that I charge too little for this software. The price will go up to $150 in August. You can still purchase it at the old price but if you like to show your appreciation of the software by purchasing at the new price already you can do so. There will be a tiered system of prices and the current price will become the one for those on low income or students and unemployed etc.


This page is for any users of FTS who want the Lambdoma view for use with mouse or p.c. keyboard on its own. Please use this page to order it if you do so, so that Barbara Hero can be credited with a commission for your order.

Thanks, Robert
