The gag to this song[1] is a bit crass, but one of the visualization tools in particular has always caught my eye: the hexagonally-arranged note visualization. It seems to capture a number of chord relationships in a very intriguing and intuitive way.

Thought I recognized one of the viz methods, and the hexoganal representation of the chords may be based on this idea from Euler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonnetz

I saw some music software once also a few years ago that mentioned this type of input device. Don’t remember if the software in question was a VST or a DAW or what it was so can’t find it at the moment. The software that mentioned it may have been open source but I don’t remember.

I figured there would be mathematical foundations to it, and it would figure Euler is involved. Very neat!
