Just define your Major Root and the Notes you play will be mirrored around the axis between the Tonic and Dominant (for C the axis is between E and Eb.)

How does this device work?
Hi shinito,
thanks for your interest.
this device changes midi notes according to the theory of negative harmony. with such it is possible to play a chord and get it's negative form, which will sound arguably chromatic but will have the same "weight" if we can say so.
just drop it in a midi track and record its output with a second midi track to see the result
