Suppose a piano soundfont includes adjustments for inharmonicity, so that pitches deviate slightly from ET, especially at the extremes (high and low). If I use timidity to play a midi file with this soundfont, without the -Z option, is the default to force the pitches into ET? Or will timidity just play the pitches in the soundfont without any changes? In other words, if I want hear the inharmonicity-adjusted pitches, do I need to use a specific frequency table with the -Z option? |

If a piano soundfont includes adjustments for inharmonicity at some samples, high and low for example, you can adjust the instrument's root frequency per samples via tune= option in timidity.cfg. Please see man timidty.cfg(5) for detail. Regards, TAMUKI Shoichi |

But my question is: what is the default behavior? Does timidity force the samples into ET or does it play them as is, with the inharmonicity adjustment?

Hello Andrew, I am just a user. But there was no reply from anyone for a long time, so I will answer it instead. In my understanding, TiMidity++ play them "as is", with no adjustment in default. So, if you prepared ET(Equal temperament) soundfont, TiMidity++ play by ET, if you prepared MT(Meantone temperament) soundfont, TiMidity++ play by MT, and so on.

Hello Andrew, I am sorry for this delayed reply. And NOIKE-san, thank you for answering instead. From: Andrew Dabrowski <ajd...@bl...> Subject: Re: [timidity-talk] inharmonicity Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2018 14:21:45 -0400 > But my question is: what is the default behavior?? Does timidity force > the samples into ET or does it play them as is, with the inharmonicity > adjustment? TiMidity++ acquires samples closer to the pitch from the GUS/patch or SoundFont and resamples appropriately in order to produce the desired tone. The pitch to be output is completely controlled by TiMidity++. So, the default behavior will be played in ET regardless of GUS/patch or SoundFont. To play with other tuning, please use the -Z option or MIDI Tuning Standard (MTS) SysEx. Regards, TAMUKI Shoichi |
