Thought you were aware of it. It's a lot of fancy lingo, but
the sound demos were never particularly impressive to me. Still,
I'd like to know what he was doing in musical terms.

Gene and Carl were discussing Ben Denckla's adaptive
tuning ideas (he calls it "dynamic intonation")

I have read Ben's thesis... if I understand the operation of the
method correctly, at heart it contains a sophisticated
set of tables. The program looks at what notes are playing
(and it may use some history as well as just the currently
sounding tones) and then looks up in the tables how they ought
to be retuned. Much of the analysis in the paper is devoted
to constructing a good set of tables...
