Thanx for the interest.

" {...} how does it sound?"

Sounds oddly familiar (Asian) and oddly alien.

"Got any music using these? ;)"

Yes and no.

Yes on my ancient iMac (OS 9) playable on some really rinky-dinky shareware (not even sure what is called cuz it's a Japanese copy of some programme).

No in regards to anything recorded/recordable (the shareware is "disabled demo" stuff from like OS 7 days)

But I can imagine these tunings on a physical modeling synth.
