Here's someone with a 5-limit JI version of Palestrina:

Hi Carl, I heard Gloria in both 12-EDO and 5-limit 19-tone version. The most practically useful aspect is the data on the pitchbends.

Can we have the pitchbend data on 5-limit, 22-shruti Indian system?

Thanks,
Haresh.

The format is semitones followed by pitch bend offset (pitch_bend
attribute in Scala).
For the actual MIDI pitch bend number, add 8192.

0: 1/1 0. 0
1: 256/243 1.-400
2: 16/15 1. 481

in units of 1/4096th of a semitone? if so, you'll find the following
page useful, as the chart on the bottom has the figures for a nice
chunk of 5-limit ji, including the entire shruti system.

Hello and thanks for the information.

100/4096 = 0.0244140625 cent.
If I have calculated correctly, 1 cawapu = 0.0244140625 cent.

[I suspect that this may not be sensitive enough to make shruti measurements].

My questions is:

How do we measure cawapu/cents as we move the pitchbend? A sensitive tuner? (For objective measurements). Which brand/model?

This is extremely important, because we can turn the pitchbend wheel to the exact required wxtent, to match the resulting pitch with the pitch of the singer's voice (for example). This would perhaps be the only objective way to study shruti values.

Thanks,
Haresh.

wouldn't the midi stream tell you the nominal amount of the
pitchbend? you could run a test to check that, say, 4096 units of
pitchbend gets you to the pitch you expect, which you could verify by
ear (it'll either be right or be off by a very large amount, a
quartertone or semitone, if things aren't set up correctly) . . . and
then everything should be fine. manuel may have more details on this
for the particular brand of synth you're using.

okay . . .

>This would >perhaps be the only objective way to study shruti values.

why would this be more objective than to leave the synthesizer out of
it and simply analyze the recording of the voice itself?
