Stacks midi tool and visual representations of chords

Post by nrgskill » Sun Jun 16, 2024 7:20 am

I'm quite confused with the visual representation in the Stacks tool. The manual only says it uses the Tonnetz system.

Take for example Amin triad. Stacks show it a downward pointing triangle:

But if you check on Wikipedia, minor triads are pointing up:

Everything seems inverted, why?

Or the Wiki shows an inverted one...

There are many representations. If you perform a Google image search for Tonnetz, you will see various examples.
