Negative Harmony Widget

The Negative Harmony widget is a special kind of input transformation that turns all MIDI input into its negative equivalent. The result is then displayed on a Double Staff object.

You can either use the internal synthetizer to generate the “negative” output or route the resulting MIDI Output to an external instrument, using the Send MIDI IN to MIDI Out function from the Audio/MIDI Settings.
