  • I'll never see the world the same way ever again...

  • imagine aliens arrive on Earth and can see all those spectrum.... they would go mental

  • @dvamateur I agree, playing other than chromatic scales on a Western keyboard is quite awkward. I don't really know about the notation, might do some research about that.

  • @autotunepop You can change the pitch scaling across the keyboard or use alternate tunnings (like on DX7II), but I think playing Eastern music on a Westen type of keyboard is like trying to write English with Chinese characters. I believe you need something like a sitar to do the Indian stuff.  By the way, are you aware if those Eastern music has any type of music notation? I mean, you can really write quarter tones on five lines

  • @dvamateur I agree, those scales sound weird or a bit out of tune. I was able to produce those on a synth but playing them and getting used to them takes really some time and it's not necessarily very practical. They might fit to some experimental music though

  • @autotunepop Well, my favorite musicans are Chick Corea and Hiromi, and my objective is to get to the level of their profficiency. As far as the Indian or Arabic scales, I don't find those appealing. I heard once some Indian guy singing along some Hindi pop playing in the background, and to my amazement he was able to sing exacly the same thing as the girl on the tape, so that's quite amazing. Yet, it sounded very weird and unappealing to me.

  • dude, do you have to stand so fuckin close to the edge of that roof? It's making me nervous just watching it

  • @autotunepop exactly, Either fretless instruments, or specially pitched guitar. Even with a cello for example the tuning is often lower a quarter tone on one string ... the other are not tuned in quint either. I haven't thought of the key board but now you are telling me I remember having seen the little stick ... it could work really good!

  • @dvamateur It's impossible (or very hard atleast) to play those non-chromatic scales on a regular piano I think, don't know if it could be done by tuning the strings accordingly. However that is possible with e.g. a fretless bass, a synthesizer (by adjusting pitch key tracking to half) or perhaps even a specially tuned guitar.
