Hi tuners, First and foremost, I apologize for the long delay in this post which I promised to send some time ago. As some of you already know, a few weeks ...
The following tuning poll is now closed. Here are the final results: POLL QUESTION: There are things embodied by Scala .scl files (lists of intervals or...

... Hi Chris, Yeah that would be great mate. Michael already sent an example of the phi chords a few days ago but there's so many more possibilities in 36 edo....
Man o man I don't know if I understand your request. I'm a dummy in tunings. My keyboard tonight only has 49 keys. Korg ms2000. But ill try 36 edo as soon as I...
... Hi Mike, Do you mean instruments that have fairly uniform tone? I would suggest trying many instruments, even in combo, and seeing which works best for...
Ok... what I did was calculate the 12th root of PHI and put it into scala. I think I did this right except./... did I get 11 notes per octave not 12? Here is...
Mike>"Indeed...in that case I would have to space out the notes more to avoid beating to a high extent. The funny thing is the beating between any two notes,...
... Hi Mike (back again). Well beating and dissonance are not necessarily the same thing so avoiding beating is not the issue. Besides, spacing notes should...
Dear friends: Perhaps the members of the list-especially the ones that were interested in my work on historical temperaments and have perused for years...
Claudio,  The "executioner" makes me sick. Monz has had the same kind of treatment from Nazi Wikipedia "dominators". I think that changes must be made in...
I have also had trouble with Wiki vandals, who seem to have nothing better to do than to modify entries about LucyTuning. I used to repair them, but have...
I tried 36 tet and it is too wide for 49 keys to do much of any thing and really needs that special keyboard posted here or a mini-key format. I used mikes...
... Hi Chris, I don't have scala and haven't got a clue whether you reprogram keyboard notes or go straight to midi (I assumed the latter). Obviously you...
... This was actually me (Rick) not Chris. "1 2/PHI PHI and 1 2/PHI 1/PHI^2+1 PHI" are cut and pasted out of your last post, which is where the 12 comes from...
Hi Claudio, I've seen your comments around Wikipedia. Many of us have expressed frustration over the years at various aspects of the ecosystem there. Without...
... Monz's problems were mostly his own. I'm sure we'll hear from Lucy now, too. Wikipedia may not be perfect, but it will reflect narcissism back on the...
Thanks for your comments Carl, which I appreciate as always and mostly agree upon. ... For better or worse, Jorgensen, Barbour and Lehman are all much ...
... Claudio, thanks for your answer; I knew some of what you said, but not all! It's not a very important point perhaps, I just think that "Young 2" is a more...
Hello friends, My excuses to answer so late, I check my mails very unregularly... Thanks to mention, I did not know I had this presentation in wikipedia ,...

--I used mikes correction to 1/phi and it made a big difference. Â Â I figured...using 13/8 IE 1.625 makes a huge difference as much of the issue of ...
... Now that you wrote a clear definition of your approach I can analyse it. You said <2/PHI means, literally, 2/1.618034 = 1.236067, for example. (1/PHI)^2 +...
... Vallotti's layout has 1/6 comma 5ths from F-C-G-D-A-E-B, and all the other notes are arranged in pure 5ths from either side of that. (Technically, he...
Rick>"Just to check that this is indeed 8ve equivalent to your original value, dividing by 4 gives 0.381859. The closest number I could find to your value was...
Hot off the NYC MicroFest concerts, I took notice of Bradley's recent post: "Vallotti/Young" isn't really anything, historically, until some 20th century...
