... For john chalmers in http://www.esnips.com/web/acousticsoftombak-Musicfolder ... A new music in honour of john chalmers is uploaded Hi all Happy new year! ...
... I think, perhaps surprisingly, the tempered chords sound distinctly different. The JI chords still have that locked quality to them. The most consonat...
... Yes, values for any purpose, too- envelopes, algorithmic scores, waveshaping functions, whatever. There are excellent descriptions in the various Csound...
... Technically, all software synths can be said to be wavetable synths--the 'wave' is a data array that is read at high speed and put into DAC buffers. Even a...
... I think 25:30:35:42 now sounds different from the planar- tempered chord because they now begin on different inversions. Even though all inversions are...
... Why not call them "arrays" then? The specialized term seems to add no meaning. ... The marketing for Arturia (and some other 'circuit modeling' synth...
... In this case, Cool Edit is putting the values into a buffer and saving that to a wav file. And then those values are read into a DAC by the audio player...
Hi Cameron. Can you do some example of it? ... From: Cameron Bobro To: tuning@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 30, 2006 10:25 PM Subject: [tuning] Re:...
Hi George. ... I understand that the fact that in all the ratios (n/d) we normally consider n and d are coprimes can generate some confusion with primes...
Fine! However... yet another MIDI-related niggle. If my acoustics are correct, the clarinet timbre should have only ODD harmonics. Therefore, the tuning of...
Hi Lorenzo, ... 4/3 and 3/2 would have to be the same in any octave-equivalent regime, wouldn't they? So this isn't another kind of equivalence, it's a facet...
... Heh... not on my synth/speakers. Depends on the quality of your synth. ... There's much more to this than beating, but I don't even think this is correct...
... No. You can have octave equivalence without inversional equivalence. It's how harmony was explained in the counterpoint books I read. If you have a...
Hiya Graham - good to hear from you. ... If I have octave equivalence, I feel like I should be able to play F-C, and then move C down an octave. Octave...
... In the approach I take, as far as consonance/dissonance, 4/3 belongs to the family of fifths and and 3/2, octaves. ... Plain old acoustics, too, just plot...
I promised... ... I plugged 8/7, 14/9, 12/7, and 16/9 into Scala, and I have to say my hearing agrees perfectly with n*d. Also, 1/1-8/7-12/7 and 1/1-14/9-16/9...
... I think that "octave equivalence" is a contraddiction in terms. Each musician knows that everything in different octaves sounds very different even if the...
... It doesn't have the detuned sound of tempering in the same way that the planar chord does. ... I thought it had the sweetest sound; the others are harsher....
... The 3-limit rationals, like the rationals, are a dense set. Hence given any positive real number r, and any positive e, we can find an infinity of numbers...
Hi Carl. ... I've tried with a really open mind... But with a lot of timbres I always hear a bad 8/7 in comparison with 16/9. Maybe you can suggest me the...
... This may seem strange, but to me the same note in another octave sounds more similar than any other note in the same octave, like a different shade of the...
<<< Incidentally I hear a strong, rapid beating in 10-12-14-17 'root position' - maybe this is due to 17/12 sounding as an out-of-tune 7/5, with comma 85/84....
... I hear that in the latest demo, though I don't remember hearing it in the wave files. And it seems a subtle thing compared to the other kinds of...
... Actually he showed that harmonic entropy plus octave equivalence agrees with odd limit for rational intervals, and pure harmonic entropy agrees with n*d...
... What are the other causes? ... Since, excluding 2, primes are a subset of odds, I would say that odds are even worst from this point of view since they are...
