Re: [tuning] Digest Number 791

Carl-
Chords on the microzone were quite simple. Chris had the machine tuned so that each rank of
buttons was tuned to a diatonic approximation, and the ranks above and beneath were transposed a
2^1/53 (don't remember exactly, but this seems right) so you could play piano-like chords on any
rank and choose from among the other pitches by grabbing notes from other ranks. Chris says he
is going to join the list, so when he gets on he can explain it better.

19tet guitar synth-
Neil Haverstick uses a Roland GR300 with his nineteen and it tracks beautifully. You have to
get the touch, but once you have it figured out, it works very well. Neil is on the list, so you
could ask him for details. We do a 19tet piece (Breakfast Squids) that has some very fast lines
with synth harmonies and I have never heard a glitch.

Isn't a GR300 analog/non-midi?
