Hearing Degeneracy // ADVANCED

▸ Simple ↗ Open in new tab

Three faders, one equation. The faders f₁, f₂, f₃ combine through your formula into a single master gain that scales the sound. When two different fader configurations evaluate to the same value, they produce exactly the same sound — that's a degeneracy. The maps to the right show the iso-contour of all configurations producing your current output.
