They seem to have yet to realise that they are attempting the impossible. The contradictions and the paradoxes of JI logic are effectively demonstrated by the Tantrum temperament toy program. Tantrum was written by Stephen Malinowski. (510) 235-7478 smalin@well.com. It runs on Mac and can be found from a link on the LucyTuning homepage at http://www.ilhawaii.net/~lucy. Instead of making any further comments about JI, nowadays my interests are more concerned with producing music and attempting to find an effective way to generate greater tuning precision, using the MIDI tuning dump. BTW We have also been looking at EMagic and putting LucyTunings into the environments for that program. At present we are again running up against the 1/64th of a semitone tuning resolution problem, as it uses pitchbend. If anyone has found an effective way to get the MIDI tuning dump to generate better playback pitch resolution, please let us all know. lucy@hour.com http;//www.ilhawaii.net/~lucy
