Harmonic Waste

Paul,

In your theory of well-temperaments, on
http://library.wustl.edu/~manynote/unique.html,
I like the part about "harmonic waste". (And I thought harmonic waste was
anything composed in the 20th century!)

Actually, I tend to think music bounces between different tunings of the
same note in our brains, whether or not the instrument producing the notes
cannot handle it. E.g., in a ii, V, I progression (jazz or whatever), in
the key of C Major, I think the D minor triad uses a different D (a slightly
lower D) than the G Major triad does. My theory is that our brains know
what was "meant" by the out-of-tune notes of an E.T. piano (or of a lousy
singer).

Anyway, keep up the good work!

--Mark

Hi there!

Since GM instruments/cards accept tuning on different channels...
Is there a possibility to have different tunings on different MIDI
channels? i.e. a Turkish tuning on the first and Thai in the second?
