Hi I downloaded the rar file but nothing to install and some .scl files were corrupted and in 12-tone .scl files there repetitious intervals. For example : ...
That sounds like a rebellious tuning considering the music played, if I do say so myself. Maybe it's the radio quality of the stream that's deceiving my ears. ...

Oops, I spoke too soon. The tuning sounds marvelous with the Chaconne of Handel. My sincerest apologies for the bias and congratulations on your success Brad. ...
A long time ago I proposed, either here or on tuning-math, a couple of temperaments using sine and cosine functions. One of them is a classic 12-tone WT...
Hello George! I hate to bring up a tangential thought to your post so early, but it was something that came up during the Johnston Symposium both from Monzo ...

Hi all, ... Not only does Egarr talk about it, he proclaims himself "a convert". Not bad, coming from the soon-to-be Music Director of the Academy of Ancient...
