That sounds like it's probably a good fugue. I say probably because I had real difficulty wanting to subject my ear to the sounds enough to follow everything....
Pitch bend normally affects a whole channel... so if you're using pitch bend to retune the scale, you can only have one note on each channel at a time (because...
Isn't it partly (mostly?) a matter of timbre? organ timbre by itself, I find to be too bright, almost dissonant, espeically when "all the stops" are pulled...
Hi there, ... To understand how it works - suppose you want to play a major third 1/1 5/4 2/1 in part 1 and the 3/2 on a different instrument in part 2. Then...
Boy, when you read this you realize MIDI sucks. It needs a major overhaul by now, we all agree. I think I'd rather use acoustic or CSound for a while.... -A....
Actually, the problem is that we're asking MIDI to do something it wasn't intended to do.... MIDI just presses virtual keys on the synth. The place to retune...
... I have to disagree. MIDI is a kind of score. As microtonalists, we're saying we want 'composers' to have more control over intonation. That means the...
... Another gotcha here is --- why do synths have keys? Not all synths do. And if they do, what do the keys look like? Why can't there be more than 128 of...
Well, we don't even have a standard way to indicate that in a written score yet. It would be nice if MIDI supported a byte of fractional note number and we...
Yeah. Good questions, lol. If it were up to me MIDI would have 2 bytes of note number which would give us more resolution than our ears can hear I think. ... ...
... Well, technically speaking, yes. However, by allocating, for example 4 channels (having the same timbre) to a particular part, you can have up to 4...
Yes, Carl, I think that's right - midi is based on the idea of a keyboard with discrete keys. Csound is based on the idea of a score that you enter as text. So...
... There are several proposals in use for handwritten scores, including Sagittal, HEWM, Tartini-Couper, and cents. From my point of view, it'd be nice if MIDI...
Thank you for sharing this. I am especially impressed with how good the 13 tone uke sounds. I have been thinking about making a little guitar or uke in 26 edo...
Yo JLS- ... If I want to score microtonal music, do I want Harmony Assitant or Melody Assistant? What's the difference? Their website is clownin'. -Carl...
I made it there. It was a pretty good gig. The '13-O'Clock Blues Band' also played, which was Jon Catler, 2 other guys on fretless guitars, & a fretless...
I just wanted to make clear that in no way was I intending to connect my view of playing against a just scale for a blues with Jon Catler's recent album, which...
I'm going to L.A. next week for a 10-week internship at Caltech for the LIGO project. (The soundbite I've been using is "searching for ripples in the fabric of...
... It would be interesting to hear what other people think, but I found Barstow to be the absolute ugliest place I've ever visited in my life. Makes...
{Kraig, you wrote...} ... "Pretty" was not the point. And while it isn't what it was when Harry picked up the inscriptions back in 1940, it is still, to a...
Hmmm.. Sorry to be off-topic, but what the heck... as long as we're comparing armpits... :-) ... Personally, I'd skip Barstow... Drive on by to quaint little...
... I am in, too! ... I would say: Somebody/anybody just starts with something/anything! I am thinking of sending something in 5EDO... ... working as ... ...
... LOL, I should never have mentioned it. Really I'm more interested in events like concerts, and things within walking distance (or reachable by bus/subway)...
... I don't know much about the area, other than it's 27 miles from Pomona, where Harvey Mudd college is. And they have Bill Alves, and I think as well a...
... I won't be able to contribute musically, but just a suggestion: since people's contributions will most likely be not monstrously long, maybe you should...
