Making a Midi file from MidiCode:

Hi All,

I am able to listen to Bach's "Minuet in G" in 7 et. It sounds
logical but less harmomious and a little spooky. How can I turn the
output from midtcode into a midi file I can post? Will midiox or FTS
work?

Best wishes,
Jim

I'd recommend using Scala for this kind of thing. Save the scale I
posted, load it into Scala, go to the "retune midi file" command
which is in a menu bar, reset the 1/1 to G instead of C if you like,
and retune away.

For an alternative to Bach, I've put up a retuning of Joplin's Maple
Leaf Rag. Jon will be happy to know it's a lot smaller than the Bach.

For the record, Jon's happiness is rarely, if ever, dependent on the activities on the various fora. :)

I've downloaded the files, but my caveat is always the same: I rarely care for music that has been retuned to something else simply for the exercise of retuning. But I like to be open, as well...

Cheers,
Jon
