Re: Microtuning (Gordon's Plea)

Gordon, you wrote: "Thank you very much!!!" No problem! :-)
"It's interesting, I just downloaded the demo! I've not tried it yet.
The limit of 30 pitches to the octave is fine by me for now."
Actually, when you define your tuning "staff rules" with sharps &
double-sharps, flats & double-flats, then add the "Turkish accidentals"
-- the number of pitches available increases proportionally.
"Does it also allow importing of soundfonts, or just the ones that
come with the program (and extra CD)?" Yes, it does. You may modify
the existing digital instruments, import your favorite soundfonts and
modify those, even record your own instruments. I purchased Harmony
Assistant, Virtual Singer, and the GoldBase CD for well under $200. It
works very well for my musical purposes, which leans to a
classical/acoustic style. Here are links to the relevant chapters
