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. ...

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...
