Credits. -This is all my own work, with the exception that some of it is derived from the Trolltech example code. The chord algorithm was originally written in Javascript by Jim Cranwell and is used with his permission. Some of the code dates back to the original version of Powerchord that I wrote for the Agenda VR3. That was my first Agenda app and was in turn related to the code for the Agenda Power Meter application. Some of the original Agenda (fltk) include directives remain in the code, commented out... The name derives from the use of the Agenda Power application as a starting point. Power + Chord = Powerchord. Credit to a number of web resources on computing music, especially the first one I read that talked about the 12th root of 2! Credit finally to 4Front Technologies, their document 'Open Sound System - A Programmers' Guide' was most useful. This is my first use of OSS. +This is all my own work, with the exception that some of it is derived from the Trolltech example code. +The chord algorithm was originally written in Javascript by Jim Cranwell and is used with his permission. +Some of the code dates back to the original version of Powerchord that I wrote for the Agenda VR3. +That was my first Agenda app and was in turn related to the code for the Agenda Power Meter application. +Some of the original Agenda (fltk) include directives remain in the code, commented out... +The name derives from the use of the Agenda Power application as a starting point. +Power + Chord = Powerchord.
