new book

There's a new book:

Walter Gieseler: "Harmonik in der Musik des 20. Jahrhunderts. Tendenzen -
Modelle", Ed. Moeck, Celle, 1996. 2 volumes.

I have not seen the book. It has 2 chapters on microtonality:
Kap. 4: Mikrointervalle. Kap. 5: Neue Harmonik und Tradition.

That is of course assuming that you have a synth that can respond to organ
pedals that way. I would imagine that one way to do that would be the K2x00's
apparent ability to switch off between several 12-toned tuning tables via SysEx
messages, combined with a Max patch to translate pedal depressions into those
SysEx messages.
