Description:

Returns the harmonics <nth-harm> of every note of specified chords. It returns only a certain percentage of these harmonics which are aleatorically chosen. The harmonic attacks are spread out between the attack of the original chord and the attack of the next. Diamanter is a term coined by Olivier Messiaen. As an example, Messiaen explained in his orchestration class how the high register of the piano may add brilliance to orchestral sound textures: le piano diamante lĠorchestre.
