On the Subject of Scalar Dials

*Twist* Wait, did I hear something? *Twist*

You are required to know module's mechanics, basic octave structure (C,C#,...,A#,B), what an interval is and the meaning of "#"" and "b" symbols in order to use this manual.

Virtual piano that you need to use: here

WARNING! virtual piano has different octave numbers for A,A#,B. Refer to the keyboard on the last page for the actual note names.

Step 1: Initial Positions

For each dial, do the following:

  • A: Set the dial to its lowest note.
  • B: Click the small screen to hear the note and find its name using the virtual piano.
  • C: Observe the big symbol on the left of the large screen (clef). Find the note from the large screen on that clef's diagram, get its name (dont forget to apply sharp or flat if present).
  • D: Use large screen's note for column, dial's note for row. Get 3 numbers. Set the dials' positions to those numbers.

Step 2: Final Positions

For each dial do the following:

  • A: Find the exact note from the nth small screen on the sheet music below.
  • B: Also find the exact note from the nth position on the large screen.
  • C: Depending on the background of the nth small screen, only count the number of red/blue notes in between (white -> red, black -> blue).
  • D: Modulo the number by 10 and set the nth dial to that number.

For convenience, the notes between lines are blue, notes on the lines are red. Additionally, both of these groups are numbered separately from each other.

Step 3: Submit Time

For each dial do the following:

  • A: Find the note the dial is playing on the virtual paino.
  • B: Using the same clef as before, find the name of the note from the small screen (once again, applying sharp/flat if present)
  • C: Find the interval between 2 received notes (absolute difference %12).
  • D: Using the interval and the dial's position get a number from the table.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
1st 9 13 5 8 12 2 10 3 11 6 4 7
2nd 6 11 5 3 9 12 7 10 8 13 2 4
3rd 7 12 13 4 8 11 6 2 10 9 3 5

Multiply the 3 numbers together and turn it into binary.

If the number of digits in the binary is not a multiple of 3, add zeros to the left of the binary until the number of digits is a multiple of 3.

Then take the background colors of the 3 screens in reading order and write them over each digit of the binary, writing the 3 color sequence over and over until each digit has a color associated with it.

Count the number of white-1 and black-0 combinations, modulo it by 10, and submit when the last seconds digit on the countdown timer is equal to this number.
