Hello fellow Xentonalists.

Can anyone tell me where I maight be able to get, or, failing this, can
anyone send me information, as to a chart of chords and intervals for
different temperaments?

I saw something similar, in KEYBOARD magazine, a while ago in 1993-a HUGE,
laminated, glossy, colorful chart of common, and not so common chords/chord
names, and intervals/interval names for 12 Equal temperament.

The reason I am looking for this, is because I am planning to get a
PowerMac, and David Cope's Artificial Intelligence type music
generating/composition creating software, and convert it to make microtonal
music.

David Cope's software (SARA), stands alone in its feild, and has fooled
about 90% of music lovers as to its authenticity, emulating Mozart, Chopin,
Brahms, Joplin.

I really don't know if it would be "applicable" to just overlayer the 12 ET
creations that David Cope's SARA (the software) completely different set of
rules for musical creation, of a microtonal nature.

Also, it would be good to have the computer analyse samples as to their
relative harmonic content via time, in relation to the temperament they were
to be used in-this would give us a fair idea as to how and when to use our
samples to create musical effect, and tension.

Any thoughts?

I will be in touch soon,

Sincerely,

Sarn Ursell.
