> Just wondering: What is the point of this. You're creating notes with a difference between them of ~.05 hz. Are your ears good enough to hear the difference between these? That's at the extremes. But even just using Harry Partch's 43-Tone tuning system reduces the available octave range to just under four octaves instead of the 10+ one normally gets with MIDI when using Timidity's tuning table method. I would like for someone to be able to generate a piece of music using any tuning they want and not be limited in the range that it produces.
