Gene,

So what's the deal with the synchronous versions of
temperaments? Can you give a rundown of of some of
them -- metameantone, wreckmeister (?), wendell nat.
sync well, sync. vallotti... are they all based on
the beat ratio btwn. maj and min 3rds? Have you been
able to hear a difference? I think metameantone is
the best-sounding meantone I've heard, but I haven't
given a close listen to other sync. temperaments yet.

Maybe we should have a midi file comparing triads
with various beat ratios?
