Here you will find numerous Persian music MIDI files and a command line program that runs on UNIX to retune existing MIDI files by cents. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks easy and straight forward. Thanks, Kami. I enjoyed the new age joke in yesterdays digest. I haven't really heard any microtonal jokes yet, but I imagine one must end in "...because he kept losing his temper! Haw haw haw". Adolph Mares, the president of the Denver musicians union did quip to me a few months ago, upon hearing that I was going to do a microtonal gig with Neil Haverstick, "So you're going to use those little sons of pitches?"
