Improvisation in 17-tet

Hi there,

Here is an improvisation I did with Giga and Dan Dean's solo
strings in 17-tet

Another one is waiting approval so may appear shortly.

Also has my string quartet.

I find the string quartet loses a few notes on my SB Live! soundcard
because it uses Direct sound and doesn't have the GSIF drivers you
need for gigasampler.

I may get the Audiophile 2496 eventually, which I've seen reviewed as a good
card, with no on board synth, so it relies on gigasampler or other software
for the sounds. It's kind of taken the place of SB Live! for that level of
soundcard in recent music hardware recommendations in the magazines.

Anyone got any experience of it?

Robert

Will do :-)

Yes I like 17-et too - grows on you doesn't it. I find it rather
endearing and tender at times, as you hear in the second 17-et improvisation.

Now, if one were to hear a complete note on the strings all the
way to the end of the note in the wave sample, then it would be
completely a real note as that is what it is, - if also
played back at the same volume as the recording.

Even though it isn't like that most of the time, the
variation in how the notes are played makes it sound very
realistic, because all the notes and all the volume levels for
each one are recorded individually, with those small nuances
of timbre one only gets with a real insrument.
