Hello Paolo!

you know, to play pure harmonic music, every note must be flexible. Since
piano strings and guitar frets are fixed, not moveable, these instruments
are tempered, always slightly out of tune.

Some synthesizers today allow you to create an harmonic scale. My Kurzweil
K2500 with an appropriate software can do easily the job.
You can find pure harmonic music in my classical compositions... where i'm
able to modulate in just intonation, with all pitches having the ability to
move.

This is not a problem for instruments such as the violin, trombone or the
voice... but how can you create an orchestral soundscape with ONLY
synthesizers?.. this is what i've done in my music... ;)
