source file: mills2.txt Date: Thu, 19 Dec 1996 11:51:35 -0800 Subject: equal temperaments on the fly in kyma From: "Marcus Hobbs" here's another example of how a xenharmonisist might use the kyma: i wrote a sound that lets you change the equal temperament on the fly. you use controller data to designate the temperament from 2-128 TET. you could do temperaments greater than 128, but the sound would have to be extended to handle mapping midi note numbers to a range greater than 128. a second controller is used to specify an octave deviation (from -6 to +6 octaves, but again, you could specify it anyway you want). the results are clipped to be on range. you can plug any waveform/timbre into this sound. i'd be happy to chat with anyone interested in how i'm using the system to do alternate tunings. you should also give carla scaletti or kurt hebel a call...they designed and support the kyma. marcus Received: from ns.ezh.nl [137.174.112.59] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Thu, 19 Dec 1996 21:58 +0100 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA09630; Thu, 19 Dec 1996 22:00:45 +0100 Received: from eartha.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA09629 Received: from by eartha.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) for id NAA00659; Thu, 19 Dec 1996 13:00:42 -0800 Date: Thu, 19 Dec 1996 13:00:42 -0800 Message-Id: <199612192056.MAA07026@well.com> Errors-To: madole@ella.mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
