source file: m1402.txt Date: Sat, 2 May 1998 04:51:51 -0500 Subject: "Tuning, Timbre, Sprectrum, Scale" From: "Benjamin Tubb" I've just finished reading and listening to the CD included with the book "Tuning, Timbre, Sprectrum, Scale" by William A. Sethares (1998), Springer, ISBN 3-540-76173-X, which for $69.95 was not a trivial expense but as it turned out, a very worthwhile investment in a thoroughly readable and thought out discussion of music theory tuning consonance and dissonance issues with 33 CD tracks of examples! I'm posting this email to commend and highly recommend this book/CD combination in further "enlightenning" anyone on such subjects. In regards to MIDI controller supports for full 128 MIDI Note Tuning Spec. accessability, can anyone recommend specific MIDI devices (whether keyboard or not) that support such features whether in a sampler or synth workstation? ------------- Benjamin Tubb brtubb@cybertron.com http://home.cybertron.com/~brtubb
