Music Theory API
Music-theory maths as an API, in equal temperament with A4 = 440 Hz and scientific pitch notation (C4 = middle C = MIDI 60). The note endpoint converts freely between a note name (A4, C#5, Eb3), a MIDI note number and a frequency — and when you pass a frequency it returns the nearest note and how many cents sharp or flat it is. The interval endpoint gives the distance between two notes in semitones and cents, its name (perfect fifth, major third, …) and the exact frequency ratio. The chord endpoint returns the notes, MIDI numbers and frequencies of a chord from a root and a quality (major, minor, dim, aug, sus, 6, 7, maj7, m7, dim7, m7b5, 9 and more). The scale endpoint returns the notes of a scale or mode from a root — major, the three minor scales, the seven church modes, the major and minor pentatonics, blues, whole-tone and chromatic. Sharp or flat spelling is selectable. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for music apps and games, synthesizers and DAWs, ear-training and theory teaching, tuners and MIDI tools. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 5 endpoints. This is music theory; for searching tracks and artists use a music API and for the classical repertoire use a classical-music API.
