Re: [tuning] Digest Number 3654

Hi Charles . the entire set of scales generated by Mt. Meru in the Wilson Archives are equal beating systems which for the last 7 or 8 years have been the only type of scales i seem to have explored.
I Have on many occasions posted things related to these tunings.
Most recently which seemed to go unnoticed or commented on were a list i compiled many of which are Wilson own plus some of my own here as far as generators.
it was the lucy tuning that you commented to erv about the sound being so good made him look at the difference tones to notice how well they worked that made him look into it more.
Although for years i had mentioned that it seemed that most african and indonesian tunings could be explained by such.
here is a list of some generators

I will put up the ones that Erv has already put up so one can tell who did what
