Serial Technique (Schoenberg/Webern)

Begin with a Tone Row node and enter your twelve pitch-classes (0–11). The node automatically generates all four canonical forms: Prime (P), Retrograde (R), Inversion (I), and Retrograde-Inversion (RI). Each form appears as a separate output port.

Connect any form to a PC Transpose node to produce transposed versions (P0, P1, P2... through P11). Use Chain nodes to concatenate different row forms into longer pitch sequences. For integral serialism, pair the row with a Duration Series node that derives rhythms from the same or a related numeric series, ensuring that pitch, rhythm, and dynamics are all governed by unified serial logic.

For Webern-style pointillistic textures, spread the row across wide registral leaps using Interval Expand with a large factor, then assign sparse rhythms with many rests using Insert Rests. For denser Schoenberg-style writing, keep the row in a compact register and use flowing rhythm trees.
