What is the TransFormSynth?
It is a software synthesizer that makes it easy to deal with microtonality, tuning systems outside the normal 12-tone equal tempered system.

How does the FFT synthesis work?
The synthesis engine changes both the partials (overtones) of a sound as well as the tuning (pitch).

What is a tuning continuum?
It is a way of organizing pitches so that it is easy to see the relationships and so that they are easy to play.
