Store description excerpt
LyreGenus Mode Studio turns ancient Greek music theory into a hands-on lyre you can tune, validate, and hear offline. Built for classics students, early-music performers, composers, and mythology-informed songwriters who need authentic tetrachords, genera, and harmoniai—not a myth encyclopedia, not a modern DAW, and not a poetry meter app. CORE LOOP Pick a genus and named mode, place movable bridges on a multi-string lyre, validate interval ratios against seeded canonical recipes, audition plucks through on-device synthesis, run recognition drills, then open repertoire cue cards that retune the instrument for hymn or chorus practice. BUILD AUTHENTIC TETRACHORDS Work on an interactive 7- or 8-string lyre. Drag movable bridges, lock diatonic, chromatic, or enharmonic genus with seeded just-ratio recipes, and read cents on every string gap so abstract tables become visible, tactile tuning. ASSEMBLE FULL HARMONIAI Construct Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Hypodorian, Hypophrygian, Hypolydian, and documented variants from conjunct or disjunct tetrachords. Map them on the Greater and Lesser Perfect Systems with mese and proslambanomenos anchors so systema teleion layout stays clear while you play. HEAR PERIOD INTERVAL COLORS Audition any single string, tetrachord, or full mode through AVAudioEngine pluck synthesis with tension and brightness controls plus a steady practice pulse. No microphone and no network required—practice anywhere with confidence. TRAIN YOUR EAR Run mode and genus recognition drills: the lab plays short seeded phrases; you identify genus, mode name, or interval quality. Session score breakdowns unlock harder phrase banks so listening skill grows with theory. REPERTOIRE CUE CARDS Open a seeded library of Homeric hymn fragments, tragic chorus cues, and Delphic-hymn sketches, each pre-tagged with suggested genus and mode. One tap retunes the lyre and highlights the working tetrachords for focused practice. COMPARE ANCIENT AND MODERN Place any ancient mode beside the nearest modern major/minor or church mode on a dual interval ladder. Charts-based cents deltas and color-coded shared vs alien steps show where ethos diverges from familiar scales. EXPORT TUNING RECIPES Generate a sheet with string order, ratio, cents offset, and bridge position summary. Export PDF or high-resolution image for music stands and classroom handouts. GUIDED LESSONS THAT STICK Complete interactive lessons on Pythagorean ratios, the three genera, systema teleion layout, and mythic ethos associations of modes. Each lesson ends with an inline check that must pass before the next unlocks. OFFLINE LIBRARY AND WIDGET Save custom tunings and favorite modes in a local library with search and tags (drama, hymn, classroom demo). Restore any saved tuning in one step. A home-screen harmonia-of-the-day card shows interval recipe art and deep-links into the matching preloaded setup—never an empty state. LyreGenus Mode Studio is a focused playable lab: live v
