A long time ago on this list, I was asking about oscilloscopes. I like to use oscilloscopes for not only looking at waveforms, but analyzing for harmonic...
Thanks, Rick. I would have mentioned it by now if I hadn't had problems with my Yahoo account (I have had to revert to my old email address). On Mon, 2 Aug...
I'll be talking with programmer Eugene Hazanov 1-2 PM (Eastern Daylight Savings time) this coming Wednesday on WWUH 91.3 FM (Hartford, CT USA). Stream the...
Hi Dan, Thanks for the details. Well they are quite remarkable! Just listening to Clang now. I like the squeaky effect at the end. Is there a story behind it? ...

A while ago, both Aaron and I posted pieces in 5-tet. Both of these were primarily rhythmic in nature. Since then I have been wondering whether it would be...
... Actually, I thought something like that, too! The fourths and fifths are on the safe side, but the single step is the intriguing one... Also, I would not...
Bill, I like it. There is melodic material where the composer focuses on melody. It's up to us to exploit the hidden resources everywhere we find them. On an...

P, Ah, I can see that MMM is in good hands. {you wrote...} ... He sure does - recommended reading. ... Excellent. I've always thought the distinction very well...
Hey everyone, I'm an undergrad student whose been interested in just intonation for a couple of years. It's great to listen in on some of these discussions! ...
Greetings, It's been a while since I've posted anything to MMM. It is the first time I've posted anything to non12comp. I guess I'll start by saying I hope ...

... I would count myself as such a person. However, it will probably surprise you to hear that I felt tense, miserable and distictly unwelcomed by your...
Thanks Prent. As someone who's been involved in both theory and music- making for many years, I found this a very welcoming post. Thanks again! You guys will...

... These septimal scales with a small number of intervals seem to produce nice results. I thought Andrew Heathwaite's PintaPenta sounded pretty good in just 5...
Hi Gene, Sorry if my post was seen as critical in some way. It wasn't meant to be at all, not even slightly - but quite probably I may have expressed what I...
