Java Microtuning Organ

Hello,

I am new to this list. As an amateur Harpsichord player, I am
interested in historical temperaments. Since retuning my instrument
takes me about 45 minutes, I rather use my Roland keyboard and my
computer to experiment. To support microtuning and soundfonts I wrote
a Java program that might be useful for this community too.

The program is called "Java Microtuning Organ" (JMTOrgan) and can be
downloaded for free at www.jedosoft.info (the same as:
http://www.geocities.com/jeroedonkers/JMTOrgan).

JMTOrgan takes the input of the midi keyboard and relays it to a
soundfont-enabled soundcard (I have a cheap Soundblaster Audigy).
Meanwhile it applies microtuning (12-note scales only) and a general
pitch height. JMTOrgan reads sf2 files to extract the names of the
presets, which is especially convienent with the Jeux 1.4 organ font
which contains over 200 presets.

The program is intended for practical use by mucisians - you can set
up a stop board for a piece and switch between presets by pressing the
spacebar.

You can record the midi-stream and save it into a midi file. Using
Synthfont, the midi file can be transformed into mp3.
