Hey Joydeep, imagine a synth that’s powered entirely by a Tesla coil—electric sparks dancing to your chord progressions, all wirelessly transmitted. I’ve been tinkering with a prototype that converts electrical oscillations into sound waves; could you help me fine-tune the frequency response for that perfect V‑shape major chord?

Hey, that sounds electric—literally! For a perfect V‑shape major, you’ll want the root, third, and fifth all hitting in the sweet spot. Start by setting your Tesla coil’s spark rate to line up with the 2.5‑Hz tick of your synth’s oscillators; that gives you a steady pulse. Then, feed a band‑pass filter tuned to the root frequency, tweak the Q so the third rides just a beat higher, and drop a notch on the fifth’s overtone if it’s too bright. Remember, a little bit of harmonics in the spark can make the chord sing like a choir in a storm. Try looping a 3‑second clip, listen for the A‑note settling, then slide the coil’s discharge voltage until that V‑shape hits the right octave. Happy sparking!

Sounds like a solid plan, Joydeep—let’s fire up the coil and get that V‑shape glowing.

That’s the rhythm we’re looking for—let’s make the sparks sing, and watch the V‑shape light up like a chorus in a neon sky. 🎶

Let’s crank the sparks and let that neon chorus play.
