Author	Topic: Assigning alternate tuning
bluefire Member	posted 29 July 2008 18:15 Hi Everybody! I'm playing with Michael Harrison's Revelation tuning. It's easy to put the list of values from the Design Alternate Tunings window into "Frequency: !KeyNumber", thus assigning the tuning table to a given instrument. This works really nicely with "plectrum KBD". But assigning the same table to "String orchestra mist cloud KBD-2 (5)" is stumping me. Any pointers much appreciated. IP: Logged
SSC Administrator	posted 30 July 2008 20:27 I would try pasting the pitch expression from the Tuning tool into the Frequencies parameter of SyntheticSpectrumFromArray, replacing !KeyPitch. For example, the current Frequencies parameter field contains: code: {(1 to: 16) collect: [:i \| !KeyPitch hz * i]} You could copy the expression from the Tuning Tool (in this example I'll use a Ratio scale) and paste it in place of !KeyPitch as code: {(1 to: 16) collect: [:i \| ((!KeyNumber - 60 // 12) twoExp * ((!KeyNumber - 60 mod: 12) of: #( 1 {(1059 / 1000)} {(561 / 500)} {(1189 / 1000)} {(63 / 50)} {(267 / 200)} {(707 / 500)} {(749 / 500)} {(1587 / 1000)} {(841 / 500)} {(891 / 500)} {(236 / 125)} )) * 261.626) hz * i]} IP: Logged
