Hello all, I'm currently working on a massive music-generating program that allows the user to do a huge variety of things including using any tuning imaginable from standard 12-TET to Just Intonation to 256-EDO to infinity. It's crazy.
Right now I'm using Timidity and generating Timidity tuning tables (instead of using pitch bend which has its own set of problems). This works perfectly as long as there are 12 divisions of the octave or fewer. Because the tuning table assigns new frequencies to each of MIDI's 128 notes if I create a tuning table for, say, 256-EDO that means that there will only be a half an octave available (128/256 vs 128/12 for a standard tuning). Reading up on the MIDI tuning specification (MTS) (http://www.midi.org/techspecs/midituning.php) I see this thing called "Single Note Tuning Change" which, if I'm reading it correctly, would allow me to enter the audio frequency of each note as I generate my MIDI file using a "sysex" command. Does this look accurate to everyone else? This would solve my problem though create a few minor headaches. Now my question, if I do manage to create a MIDI file that inserts all of these sysex commands for each MIDI note, will Fluidsynth play the file correctly? Thanks, Dave _______________________________________________ fluid-dev mailing list fluid-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fluid-dev
