FluidSynth Developers: I had an idea today, and wondered what you might think of it.
Decades ago, when I was newly out of college, with little money, but having a piano, I used to tune my own piano.
I didn't look up the specifications for how to tune it tempered (which is a formula where it is tuned such that it isn't perfect in any key, but it sounds reasonably good in all key signatures).
Instead, I tuned it so that it was nearly perfect in a set of key-signatures I usually used for my compositions. In other key-signatures, it sounded bad, and I just didn't use those key-signatures.
I really liked the result, and actually composed pieces that sounded really good on my own piano, but didn't sound nearly a good on other pianos.
But given how much I liked the sound of near-perfect tuning, I wonder about the possibility of perfect (rather than tempered) tuning for each key-signature, and changing the tuning accordingly when changing key-signatures.
Is this something that could be done with FluidSynth? Has anyone already tried this?
Just a strange idea - probably 'way out in left-field'... -- Sincerely, Aere _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
