Learning about composition from photographers
For my work i had to buy a new camera, so one thing led to another and suddenly i found myself watching lots of fast talking youtubers who know a lot about photography. What amazed me was how many principles that are used in photography can also be applied to music. This is especially true for 'rule...

I was basically just hoping for a few pointers from those with more experience in this area on how to make the best use of alternate tunings in the context of generative and aleatoric systems, and which tuning systems had worked best for them (as well as a basic confirmation that it was a fruitful ...

On a related note, does anyone know of any published scales based on the 43 note microtonal octaval tuning popularised by Harry Partch? Ideally scales using just 16 or fewer of the 43 notes in the scale? No, I didn't think so... oh well. Hey Timmy, i asked around and the consensus seems to be that ...

OK. I'm now adding support for both octave and tritave harmonic series scales, based on the excellent resource files provided with the Xen-Arts microtonal VSTi plug-in (and marked as "for researchers and developers"). After that I'll add a few more scales from the Xen-Arts world music resource pack...

If you share them somewhere and provide permission to re-use them, I'll include them in the official firmware (or at least in the source code). Sure. Coming soon. For non-octaval scales, you need to use a scaling factor. I've added the scaling factors for the Carlos alpha, beta and gamma scales and...

Here's a very dull video illustrating support for the Bohlen-Pierce tritave macrotonal scale in Ornament &a Crime (at least in a forthcoming firmware release). Great! I got my O+C this week. First thing i did was upload my own scales, everything perfect, altho it seems unwise to change the first 5 ...

Is there a master scale list anywhere? I'd love a basic chart that listed each scale + what "notes" are in it (i.e. its idiosyncratic O+C numerical note designations). I have just been trying scales out and googling them to learn more about them and it feels disjointed and alienating. Not complaini...

Invitation: submit tracks for Modular Dub sampler
Hi everybody, A couple of years ago, we released an album on the Dubbhism netlabel titled "Strictly analog dub" [soundcloud url="https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/2009903" params="auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true" width="100%" hei...

The alpha, beta, and gamma scales are easy because all the steps are the same distance apart (I'd say they are very symmetric, not asymmetric) and the step distance is less than 100 cents. You can generate the note CVs by putting the output of an ordinary semitone quantizer through an attenuator. W...

But hard-coded support for the better-known alternative microtonal and other scales, such as the Carlos and BP scales, will be the first step. Great news. On the topic of non-octave scales, see also http://sevish.com/music-resources/ look for the 'no octaves pack' on the top of the page. some non-o...

One caveat with Tymoczko's theories is that he uses them to compose his own music, and it sounds bloody awful. But the theory and the maths is pretty - so pretty that there must be something in it. I like yor straighforward comment :D I never read the book to be honest. I also remember there was a ...

By the way... have you checked out Chord Geometries software?
See http://dmitri.mycpanel.princeton.edu/Ch ... tries.html
And some more theory - that's not on wikipedia ;-) http://dmitri.tymoczko.com/sciencearticle.html

Yes. There has been a bit of a pause for thought about how to specify chords. What both Max and I know about music theory can be written with a felt-tip pen on the back of a postage stamp (but we each know what we like, right?), and as a result, we've been reading up on chords (using Wikipedia, of ...

Different designs can also sound pretty different from each other. +1 And not only can they sound different, they can perform differently for DC and LFO applications. For example, imho, the MOTM-110 is a much better VCA for envelopes than an MOTM-190. Compare a Moogerfooger ring modulator to a Verm...

I got confused by that too. I'm currently looking at both of my A110s, and I am certain they have fine tune knobs. :hmm: Bigger knobs, dual coarse/fine or precision pots (typically seen in AS VCOs) would be nice. Sorry for the confusion, i was comparing the A-110 to the A-111, which has super fine ...

What a great idea! Two of my favourite albums. :miley: Hi Green!! To my ears, super sharp attacks, super short sounds/stabs with lots of high frequencies and dead straight quantizing are the most important stylistic aspect. I'd guess that the sharp attacks in the synths are a combination of 'snappy ...

Small sampler with 1v/oct tracking?
Hi, A lot of people will be very happy with the Tiptop Audio One, but personally i need an 1v/oct cv input for pitch, which the One doesn't have. A Doepfer a-112 does have an 1v/oct input, but i was hoping to find a smaller (as in hp) basic sampling module for the same kind of price. I can't seem to...
