Ok...

what I did was calculate the 12th root of PHI and put it into scala.

I think I did this right except./... did I get 11 notes per octave not 12?

Here is the scale I used.

! C:\Cakewalk\scales\12throotofphi.scl
!
12th root pf phi
11
!
69.42116
138.84232
208.26348
277.68464
347.10580
416.52696
485.94813
555.36929
624.79045
694.21161
763.63277

I think you will hear that it does have some musical usage in this improvisation - sorry for the pauses - it took a little thinking to calculate the transposition of the 4 note arpeggio. and I did cheat - I'm playing back double time. But it seems to work.

The midi file and scale are here if you want.

Should I bother cross posting to [MMM]? I would imagine everyone there is here also.
