@thesonnydownsquartet93404 ай бұрын
@@johnmeroney2007 Not glitchy. Yes, over 50% of the time would be spent with the 251e, but remember this is largely where composition occurs. So, I might write a sequence, then decide to rewrite it. I have started scoring out my sequences now, which makes things much quicker. You can't just insert an extra note with the 251e at will, as you would then need to reprogramme every step, so best to try to get it right the first time.

So for the purposes of Just Intonation on the 251e, converting interval ratios to cents is not helpful. One needs to apply the ratio to a common base frequency to arrive at the interval's frequency then using a meter set each stage CV to achieve that frequency for that oscillator. Am I getting close?

Okay, I think I have a better understanding. Your notes indicate that you wanted to use the 7-limit tuning as you are focused on the number 7, but you needed more candidates for your scale so you also relied on some 11-limit tuning intervals. You then create your scale by placing your 7 primary intervals on the axis of your tonality "diamond". You then calculated the distance between intervals following the diagonal until two on opposing axis intersect. This distance is just "x-interval" minus "y-interval" but since we are working with ratios and fractions, we divide the smaller fraction into the larger fraction; which is accomplished by multiplying the inverse of the smaller ratio times the larger ratio. This distance also becomes a consonant ratio that will will be converted into a frequency and used in your scale. This is the purpose of this exercise, to create a scale, I used all of these giving me 45 frequencies that work together with very little dissonance. Thanks for putting this together.
@thesonnydownsquartet93405 ай бұрын
Hi Dan! I filled out the matrix manually, calculating every possible interval in the scale. If you use a common prime number in either the numerator or the denominator for your scale, you will mostly end up with consonant intervals. Everything I learnt about just intonation is neatly summarised in this book by David Doty. www.dbdoty.com/Words/Primer1.html You are right, the only way to calculate the CV values for the pitches is to use a tuning device and then write down the values. I have pages and pages of CV values which will be only applicable to my synth.
@danobrien32925 ай бұрын
Thank you for steering me to this presentation, it's fantastic. I do have a couple of questions. I know you are working with heptatonic scales but how did you land on these particular intervals? How did you determine all the possible intervals within this scale? What is the significance of tracing the diagonal, which in your example gave us a major third. What is your point; is it that when a sequence moves from 7/5 to 7/4 it will sound like a major third? Are these leading candidates for opposing sequences? On the other hand, are you saying when the sequences land on intervals at the same time, we get a new tone as the result of the two tones being played at the same time some are disonate which resolve to consonant tone qualities? On the spreadsheet, is TWG1&2 oscillator set at a higher frequency than CWG1&2? at 560hz, the cents are vastly different. In the end, I'd love to create beautiful scales such as this one, but for all I have studied I can't figure out where to begin. Thanks for all your help...
@danobrien32925 ай бұрын
love this sequence, I tried it super high with a C6 tonic and the square wave from the 258e (thanks for getting me hooked on it). Slowed it down a little, added some time domain, and it begins to sound a little haunting like tubular bells. I just can't figure out how you choose the intervals you choose. Any advice?

so much to take on board. First Just Intonation; do I have the right conversions? 10/9=182, 7/6=267, 27/20=520, 3/2=702, 8/5=813, 9/5=1018 because I can't figure out how they translate to (4.1., 4.0., 3.7., 3.5., 4.4., 4.2., and 3.7) also curious stage 2 is 3.7. and stage 3 is 3.7 (no cents). I love your stuff it is very advanced and I'd like to learn. On a separate but related point, the 251 generates 1 semitones for every .1 volt; which therefore takes 1.2 volts to get to 1 octave, so your 4.1. setting is 3 octaves leaving .5 which is 27/20 or .5 and 20 cents. I was only able to figure this one and the 3.7. but that is it. Any help would be appreciated, I know this is nearly 4 years old. But this is a lesson in JI and the 251. All the best...
@thesonnydownsquartet93406 ай бұрын
Hi Dan. Thanks for writing in. Firstly, I quite enjoy discussing music theory, and am happy to answer long questions: 1) You can use this site to convert JI ratios into cents: observablehq.com/@mcmire/just-intonation-interval-calculator 2) Please COMPLETELY disregard what you see on the 251e display. I do not use A440 as a tuning reference, so you will not be able to determine the frequencies looking at the 251e. Secondly, the 251e is programmed down to the microvolt, which is not displayed in the video. Thirdly, 200e oscillators generally do not track at exactly 1.2V/octave, so I have to find the CV values for the notes I am using for every new piece. FYI the oscillator I frequently use which does track very well is the Studio H DPO. I explained the process I use to tune the 200e in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4jMgKVte9uoiNk
