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
