... All I'm claiming is that it's just a general fact about the mean that it minimizes squared error. If you have n real numbers xi, and if M is the mean, then...
Here's the generator for every rank 2 name in my database where the period is an octave. That is, every TOP-RMS strictly linear temperament based on...
... Just a thought about one item in this catalog - "Golden non-meantone" seems a complicated and confusing name to me. We know certainly what "Golden...
Hi Herman, Gene, and Graham, Thanks for your efforts with this "ethnic" selection of fractal generators. I am asking your attention on one point. We are making...
Here is the prototype "tempered"; version of my "maximum average consonance" scale: 159.2154 (1.096328) 380.5259 (1.245828) 551.2827 (1.374972) 696.1746...
From the records I have (I can't judge the authenticity, but it looks authentic, not only as a music for foreign tourists) this could be analysed: Georgia: -...
... I also had the same type of problems with Scala on a Mac, however Ethno 2 opens them all, luckily ! ... SEA3, A12, etc... are abbreviations for "SouthEast...
I noticed last night the ethno2 scl files I looked at do not have carriage returns or line feeds. While seemingly a small difference, depending on the...
... Three steps give 11/8 is definitively to keep. Here are two good series (octave reduced) : 1 9 5 89 99 881 245... 1 5 11 49 109 485 1079... (8x^2 = 8x +...
Hi Graham. Thanks for that. Going up the links I see that http://x31eq.com/tuning.htm is quite a mine of info (and also fun to read) I find one statement...
For the benefit of Mac users: the Vogue Quattro free standalone microtonal MIDI synthesizer is available for download at the URL below (Intel only). This synth...
Hi Victor, - four-voice polyphonic PCM synthesizer ... This sound really great! However.. pleeeeaase tell me there will be a windows version too. I'm dying for...
Dear Jacques, thanks for your detailed reply. ... I see. The problem is that I don't quite know what to ask or where to start asking :) ... Both options would...
... It seems to me there are four main problems with always using linear recurrences rather than the more obvious choice of fixed sizes of generators to define...
Hi Victor, ... Aah I get it :) If you ever do make a windows version please make another anouncement on this list and I'll buy. Good luck with the synth. ...
... 7/46 <0, 17, -11, -21, 3, -2] has a decent 3, 5, and 7, yes, but with a 184.36788-cent generator these are way off (+32.30c, -14.36c, -40.55c). The 2/13...
... Another thing I am claiming is that whatever the answer to your question is, "TOP mean" seems to give results quite close to what Graham gets, is very easy...
Well, in the spirit of fairness, I wrote a piece with the same instruments and channel settings, same tempo and meter, same length (more or less) and same...
I fixed a minor error in the last version of the calculator. I discovered that my keyboard *has* to be connected to my Mac and be in PC mode *before* I launch...
... It looks like you talk about the intersection of Tenney limits and prime limits. I don't agree with your motivation for that (19:1 should be about equally...
Hi Torsten, ... I meant about "my" recurrent series of course... ... I look for it tomorrow ... If you try them and hear how they sound to you, comprehension...
Jacques, not that this is obvious at first, but Arabic Rast is not the "norm" in the world that you should select it as the standard over other intonations of...
I was complaining that the use of recurrences wasn't clearly motivated, but just now looking at the characteristic polynomials Jacques lists I keep finding...
... Cool. Well at least it looks like I'm on the right track for that "side" of the goal. :-) ... Well, if you could tell me where those are I would...
... Mavila temperament in particular has a wide range of generator sizes. In general, the more accurate a temperament, the more precise the size of the...
