Justionic Pitch Pallete software

Anybody out there using this software?

Or are you just waiting for them to release their own
synth hardware with .01 tuning resolution?

Or the version 2 sofware that let's you use more then
12 notes to a scale?

What do you think? I'm curious. I had printed a couple of their
web pages for someone in NYC yesterday. I checked my
PO Box on the way to the train and there was my latest
issue of Keyboard (July 97) with a review of Justionic Pitch Pallete.

Hmmm....

I think that that's an appropriate observation. Harmonic fusion can
make melody lines harder to hear, and slight detuning can make notes easier
to pick out from the crowd.

That is another example of one of Ivor Darreg's favorite points, that
melody and harmony are often at odds with each other. What sounds smooth
and even melodically (e.g., an equal temperament) often sounds rough
harmonically. And the reverse: What sounds smooth and even harmonically,
(e.g., two different sizes of whole-step) can often sound rough
melodically.
