Because of its application to mixing and EQ, Alexander Publishing added below each piano key its Hz frequency. The Spectrotone Chart is organized by the 88 keys of the piano with each key numbered, from the bottom A being 1 to the highest C being 88. Combinations are presented in four categories: Perfect, Close, Complimentary, and Remote. With the Spectrotone Chart’s color-coded approach, musical combinations can be quickly worked out by instrument, by range, and by specific notes. The result is an approach that works linearly across an instrument’s range, and then vertically for showing potential unison (called “layering” in synth language), octave, light harmony, and multi-voice possibilities both within a section and by combining sections. Arthur Lange, with decades of experience conducting live and studio recording sessions for jazz and orchestral ensembles, took this approach to the next level by colorizing each instrument’s tone colors across their range and provided adjectives for timbre descriptions within each tone color. They described each range break using adjectives. In the past, composer/orchestration book authors Francois Auguste Geveart, Rimsky-Korsakov and others divided each instrument’s range into the low, medium, high, and very high registers. In Lange’s words, the Spectrotone Chart is, “a colorgraphic exposition of tone-color combinations and balance as practiced in modern orchestration.”
