Re: [sc-users] Microtonality in SC -- shortcuts?




Easy easy!

Take a look at the Scale class.

Hey list,

A quick Google search turned up some Nick Collins stuff in Just Intonation (with broken links), but my question is more about implementation than end product. It seems that the Pbind note method is tied heavily to 12TET, so is there a way to edit the MIDI number mapping? Example: note 60 would be 1/1, 61 would be 81/80, 62 is 33/32, and so on up the Partch 43-tone scale (if that's the one you want to use).

I've seen mappers like the [microtuner] object in Max/MSP, but how do you microtonalists implement this in SC? Is there any existing structure out there that I don't know about? I hope that you aren't sitting there with a calculator calculating every single frequency. Are patterns still applicable? I'm new-ish to SC, in that I've never used it in performance or gotten it up to that level, but I have skimmed the surface of many things, and I've built class structures in other languages. I like the SC synth environment more than Max/MSP, but until I get a viable way to use Just Intonation my attention will not hold. Thanks everyone.

Andrew
