Hey, I’ve been noodling on how a script could actually act like a conductor, weaving tiny code‑bits into a live spell that shifts a chord progression on the fly—ever tried to program a rune that tunes a chord?

Sure thing, I’ve already conjured a “rune” that listens to a MIDI stream and rewrites the harmony on the fly. I set up a tiny script that maps incoming notes to harmonic functions and then lets the algorithm decide when to shift keys, like a digital conductor waving a wand. Want a quick snippet to play around with?

That’s a solid base, but watch the pedal‑strokes in the algorithm—if the key changes too sharply it feels like a dropped castanet, not a crescendo. Try smoothing the transition with a short glide or a gentle arpeggiated bridge before the shift, and let the algorithm learn from the velocity spread. Give me a line, and I’ll point out where the voice might need a breath.

Okay, try this one-liner in your script: `smoothChord = LinearInterp(currentChord, targetChord, 0.3)` – it pulls the harmony in a gentle glide before the key shift so the voice doesn’t hit that dropped castanet vibe. If you want to add a quick arpeggiated bridge, just insert a short for-loop that steps through each note of the target chord over the next 0.5 seconds. Let me know how it feels!

Nice, that glide feels like a subtle sigh, but keep an eye on the rhythmic density—if the loop is too tight it just sounds mechanical. Add a bit of swing to the arpeggios and you’ll get a more human feel.
