  • The tuning box, or TBX I is from Aaron Hunt's website (h-pi.com). They show a list of synths that are compatible, mostly based on full midi (in and out) and whether or not your synth is multi-timbral. Good luck. They also have a new keyboard, the Tonalplexus, which I have not tried, but has over 200 key possibilities per octave 2/1).

  • There are plenty of contrapuntal and harmonic relationships in 19. I'm still figuring them out. One tip is that the 7-limit tritone pair (7/5, and 10/7) are very useful as leading tones to the 3/2. They also make great bass lines, and can be thought of as dual identies with 11/8 and 16/11. Also try all 16 permutations (within the octave)of diminished chords, using the 7/6 and 6/5 as building blocks.

  • @ElAlekz LOL that made me laugh so hard

  • @ElAlekz It's called an Array Mbira, about $2500, but very nice sounding.

  • Awesome!! Please write a few more words regarding that tuning device and where can i purchase it. Also, if you are familiar with it, please tell me if the tuning device can be applied to any synthesizer or I need a special model... Thanks a lot!!!

  • @ElAlekz a big kalimba

  • OMFG WHAT IS THAT SHIT!?!?! @0:09

  • A lot of time spent on explaining the mapping, but I still want to know about thecontrapuntal and harmonic implications.

  • Thanks for the info Ron. We are rekeying two keyboards (DX 7's) at Sonic Arts now. One is white, white, black, and the other is white, black, all repeating. We would also like to know about other rekeying efforts, other than Elaine Walker?
