I am still SIMPLY ITCHING for Joe Monz to get his website into better order,
-no offence Joe, but I am so intrigued by this website's information,:BUT I
JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START.

A thought had struck me.

How can I name all the intervals for all microtonal temperaments???

I can provide PURE numerical information as to MIDI, for time signatures,
temperment, instrument propertys, note lengths, not start, note finish, note
volume, but how could I possibly apply an ACTUAL NAME for each interval for
temperments 5ET----->243ET?

HAS THIS BEEN DONE BEFORE?

I talked to a friend, Mr.Alan Wells who told me that Harry Partch had tried
to do this, and also went on to explain how timbre was related to temperment.

I am a keyboards-personality guy.

I believe that specific personalitys go with specific instruments.

By the way what is "meta-tuning"?
