I'm very interested in all this tuning buisness but am rather flumoxed by the numbers, e.g. >__Ascending forms__>Main notes are: >> >>(1) {C:[1/1] , G:3/2 , D:9/8, A:27/16 , E:81/64 , B:243/128 } > >Rewritting it out becomes: > C-9/8-D-9/8-E-(16/15)-(F)-(10/9)-G-9/8-A-9/8-B-(16/15)-(C') > > 1/1 9/8 81/64 (27/20?) 3/2 27/16 243/128 (81/40?) Can anyone explain how this all works and how ican set up such scales on my keyboard/sampler ? thanking you, Jem Finer Kentish Town London NW5 Received: from eartha.mills.edu [144.91.3.20] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Tue, 19 Sep 1995 14:03 +0100 Received: from by eartha.mills.edu via SMTP (940816.SGI.8.6.9/930416.SGI) for id FAA23603; Tue, 19 Sep 1995 05:03:47 -0700 Date: Tue, 19 Sep 1995 05:03:47 -0700 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@ella.mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
