source file: mills3.txt Date: Wed, 10 Dec 1997 21:45:12 +0100 Subject: Tuning program From: Pat Missin I've recently been playing with the program that Greg Phillips wrote for PCs with a SoundBlaster card. It was written primarily to assist in tuning wind chimes, but I have found it very useful for many other uses. As well as generating reference pitches with reasonable accuracy, it converts ratios to cents and vice versa, reads you own scales from a simple text file (as well as the data files for Scala) input as cents or ratios, it can play random notes from a scale, or hold a chord as you adjust each pitch, making it geat for trying out different temperaments. Requires Windows 3.1 (may work with '95, but I don't know for certain), a SoundBlaster or compatible and very little else (I tried it on a 386 with 4 Meg RAM and it worked fine). It can be downloaded from: ftp://ftp.maths.bath.ac.uk/pub/dream/xen/chime.zip Usual commercial disclaimers apply. -- Pat Missin.
