This is a normal 12-note keyboard. The distance from C to D is what we would call a whole tone in traditional theory. If we split that whole tone in half, you get a semi tone. Split it in half again and you'll find you can fit four equal quarter tones in the space of that one whole tone. But what if we split that same whole tone five different ways instead. Grysys allows us to create two new kinds of semitones that split the whole tone unevenly, which means that N harmonic equivalents like C# and Db are now two distinctly different notes.
