Have a Good Day,

Chris,

I know that, as is your current modus operandi, you've posted this in a number of places, but I'm choosing to make note here on MMM. Why? Well, when you say this:

I mean, good grief, that is exactly the place I hoped we would get when we started MMM. *None* of those tools existed at the time, and we've watched them slowly birth and evolve (I was one of the first purchasers of a z3ta+). I like what you are doing with all your 'stuff' and have enjoyed all your recent pieces posted on NotOnly... I've just been busy and lax in not commenting. But it really did give me pause, when I realized - and keeping in mind we're still going to keep evolving - that we certainly have entered a time when there is a hell of a lot you can do to create microtonal music these days that you could do, to any great extent, just a few short years ago.

So, *thanks*!

Cheers,
Jon

Hey Jon,

Thanks so much for the listen and comment. Yes, most certainly all of the
tools are starting to come together as never before in history. This is a
good thing. Perhaps true adaptive JI, which would be the ultimate (at one
extreme) will become reasonable to use and that will open many many doors
(if it has already please tell me).

Best Wishes!!

Chris

Well reasonable to use adaptive JI wouldn't be hard to make at all in any
form.
It can very easily be programmed to work in real time without any use for
user interaction or knowledge of it.
If you can agree to 5 limit then such a product is allready in many software
and hardware products:

My personal opinion is that it all sounds terrible and that adaptive JI
isn't real JI and a much greater horror that 12tet, etc etc.
But I think I've made that clear enough in the past.

Hi Chris,
it sounds good! And the accompanying text is interesting, too.
