Custom Scale Editor 2.2.0 and Tonal Plexus Editor 1.2.0 are released today. These updates feature .tun import and export support, along with many bug fixes,...
I used to use JICalc in OS9 on my old mac. What is the closest to that available now for modern systems? Is there a free, simple program with tone generation...
C. di Veroli: UNEQUAL TEMPERAMENTS: THEORY, HISTORY AND PRACTICE (2008) http://www.lulu.com/content/5179073 - the author, I'm sure, would be happy to have your...
... The idea dates back to Galileo, who first proposed the n*d consonance ranking (maybe it was Galileo Sr., I forget). Rameau championed related ideas...
Here are two pieces of freeware which are useful: Audacity has a tone generator. Tatsuaki Koroda's The Auto Tuner, originally designed for tuning Shakuhachi,...
... You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but I can't find any reference to 'n*d consonance ranking' either - who invented the terminology? Is it in tonalsoft...
... That's not terminology! It's called Tenney Height around here, though I see it's not in the tonalsoft encyclopedia. But you can google it (in quotes) and...
... I've long suspected that the contrast is due to the coincidence (in otonal chords) vs. non-coincidence (in utonal chords) of combinational tones,...
... Combination tones are basically never strong enough to account for the effect (maybe in heavy metal guitar work) and I don't hear it going away with sine...
Carl, What is the lumma_22.scl file? It says "intervals of attraction by trial and error 1999." Could you tell me what intervals of attraction are in lay mans...
This is what i have also been saying for quite some time I've long suspected that the contrast is due to the coincidence (in otonal chords) vs. non-coincidence...
as has been pointed out in Roderer's book difference tones are supplied by the brain even if tones are sepArated in different ears. In which Case volume would...
... I ought to, but the authorization system throws a loop. Or perhaps I will only get free access if it's over a year old. Anyway from what we can read...
Hi Tom, ... In-vivo single-cell recordings in mammals reveal that the auditory midbrain contains "combination sensitive" neurons with best frequencies (usually...
Hey it sounds like a cool term :-) So then - where was the tonic (if you remember) that you started from? I presume this is not a one step size tuning, but...
I would be curious to see if the tetrads come out in the same order as that found here in this list. http://anaphoria.com/lullaby.html which is based on taking...
An interesting thing to think about - we keep talking about having 9/7 be in such a range that its VF is audible. How about normal major triads in first...
... Personally, I find such chords perfectly convincing with common fundamentals up to (or actually "down to") about 16Hz. If you use 5-limit JI and you have...

... I can't substitute for Carl in answering this, but I think the point is to compare chords with different numbers of notes. So the square *root* of n*d for...
... That's right. Also, I would answer that n*d and sqrt(n*d) both produce the same ranking of dyads. These rules of thumb may be right quantitatively, but...
I am a new member of this very long-lasting discussion group, so: my greetings to all members, and apologies in case my contribution (s) were something...
