Bayes GmbH

Bayes builds PitchGrid.

Bayes GmbH is the company behind PitchGrid, a software and research effort focused on making non-traditional scales, tonal systems, and intonations musically usable.

Our work centers on tools, interfaces, theory, and teaching that help musicians explore new tonal worlds without getting lost.

What we focus on

Musical software

Plugins, tools, and workflows for navigating alternative tonal systems in a practical way.

Interfaces and instruments

Mappings, layouts, and interaction concepts that make unfamiliar harmonic spaces playable.

Research and teaching

Theory, explanation, and educational material that help new tonal cultures become legible.

About PitchGrid

PitchGrid is Bayes’ main product and long-term mission. It starts from Western tonal legacy, but opens a path into structured alternatives: new scales, new instrument layouts, new compositional workflows, and eventually new musical cultures.
