Monz, I've looked at the drawings Kraig pointed to and agree that Erv's work is cryptic. It's not that hard to find the pattern, but it's not clear which parts...
... I am using all 16 notes, so it should be possible. And there it is. If the overtones were +1 +7 +0 +6 +4 +2 +0 +3 then the undertones can be generated by...

... Both 76 and 88 show up in a search for things which do those three well; presumably 398 is taking it too far, though 230 steps gives an exellent injera...
Hi Kraig, The "optimal" Mavila horagram in the present paper puts the interval in question at 358.01 cents (and the "octave" at 1206.55 cents, so the 5:2 and...

... Midi pitch bends are capable of all the accuracy anyone is likely to need; that doesn't mean your program of choice knows what to do with the fine tuning...
... Do you mean the normal 0 to 127 pitch bend messages, or the 14-bit ones? ... AFAIK my program of choice (Logic) does know what to do with the fine tuning...
Hi David! This seems to be possible. Like i said , i am not sure who came up with the latter terms and what parts of the pattern they found essential. I do ...

... Fine bend is 14 bits, with the usual range setting you get 12*2^12 = 49152 divisions of the octave. I don't regard coarse pitch bend as normal, I regard it...

Gene, ... Beautiful. The only thing that I can add is that this is very much the left brain end of things, and the right brain side needs to play through...
... You can take the negative of the generators (-1 -3 -0 -2 -4 -6 -0 -7 -1), and if you add 7 to keep them in the range 0-7, you end up with +6 +4 +7 +5 +3 +1...

On the Bohlen-Pierce site Heinz Bolen in the article from September 18, 1999 "A 833 Cents Scale" actually discusses 36ET. See link "More Unusual Scales." I...

hi Paul (and George), ... you certainly *will* be able to easily compose music on the computer in 152-ET using the Tonalsoft software. Chris (my Tonalsoft...
