The musical kaleidoscope uses the polar coordinate and take advantage
of the mathematical relative frequency between musical notes
to create kaleidoscopic patterns. A pure tone musical instrument
such as the flute will generate very pleasing flower patterns
that varies in the number of petals and the shape of the petal
relating to the frequency and amplitude of the tone.
The left hand side are the patterns generated for one octave of tones.

The above patterns show the audio signal at high input amplitude. One
of the notes is chosen to show the variation from quiet to loud
noise levels. For quiet note, the petals do not reach the centre
whereas at high sound level, the petals reach the centre and
become small petals reaching out from the other side.
