A "non-Indian" way of using the 22 shrutis

Hi there,

this is not a serious composition, I just wanted to make a small birthday present for my schoolmate who will be 22 tomorrow.
The scale used is the 5-limit regular schismatic temperament, namely a 22-tone chain of 2/17-schisma tempered fifths: www.sendspace.com/file/11ufkp

Well, Yamaha QS-300 which is fully XG compatible. The same sounds (I think even the same samples) are used in the software driver Yamaha XG-100. But I didn't use them the way they come "out of the box". I set the pitch bend range to +/-1400 cents to each side for all the MIDI channels and left it set to the maximum positive value for the entire piece to have the sounds played faster, which is how I got the sharp timbres.

As an addition to the idea of a non Indian way to use the 22 shutis there is Boomsliter and Creel work.
