TUNING digest 1315

John Maxwell Hobbs asked
Does anyone know if the AWE64 (or AWE32 for that matter) supports tuning
tables?

The short answer is no. The EMU8000 processor operating system lacks a MIDI
interpreter capable of handling the demands of tuning tables. John Loffink
has a list of sound modules and cards that do support retuning at
http://freeweb.pdq.net/jloffink/ .

The General MIDI instrument banks called Sound Fonts can be retuned,
however, but it is a convoluted process. Dave "Fisher" Rybarczyk, Graham
Breed know more than I do about Sound Font retuning. Dave has written a
program in Visual Basic that does simple retuning.
