... OK, now I can have a cautious guess what your misunderstanding may be about. You seem to think that the study is about vowel formants. This, however, is ...
Thanks that's very useful info-- I probably wouldn't want the Grey Matter, but I can't use Scala because I'm on Mac OS X. What would you say the "Cadillac" of...
I finally got around to listening to Franz Berwald's Symphony Singuliere, as retuned by Gene. Apparently trite, but cool (so maybe only deceptively trite)....

I was playing with ratios recently, and was looking into Meantone type tunings, based on the 'mean' of two fractions: where the mean of two fractions b/a and...
... This is, assuming b/a and d/c are reduced, something called the "mediant"; and should not be called the "mean". It shows up, among other places, in the...

Hi All, Someone was asking me about the availability of generalized keyboards - that is, ones not consisting of a linear array of keys but a 2-D array. The...
I didn't have any knowledge of 'mediants' in fraction-speak. I just thought it was a an average or mean of two intervals. Anyhow, what I was wondering was if...
