I'm going to bug report something very strange: once I started trying to make music with your instrument, _both_ of my dogs reacted with serious concern for me. I don't know what they heard in your samples, but something that made them worry. You should test with more dogs. ;)
I knew a musician who once clicked on a "ring for customer service" bell at the service counter of a laundromat, and then told the arriving attendant "Your bell is a quarter-tone flat."
or what if it's 2 full tones and one quarter semitone flat? that's what I'm saying the dude flexing his perfect pitch doesn't know what the original intent was. Maybe that brand of bell is well known for that specific microtonal pitch
Excerpt:
"the album is recorded in quarter tone tuning, where an octave is divided into 24 (logarithmically) equal-distanced quarter tones; it was originally conceived to play on a baglama, so the band members used instruments specifically modified for microtonal tuning, as well as other Middle-Eastern instruments like the zurna."
What capability? The fundamental thing about this seems to require that there's not any direct way to play notes. So what would the keyboard be used for?
I must have misunderstood something. I'm a musician and have never seen a tunable keyboard, which I thought, upon seeing this, would be useful. I guess I'm dense, because I'd still be interested in this as an option in a physical keyboard.
But I am an illiterate musician. Perhaps that's were the misunderstanding arises. I favor Eastern instruments too.
No problem. I know that you can use a traditional midi controller and use computer-based synthesizers, some of which support a wide variety of tuning options. I never got too much into that myself. When equal temperament is too constraining for me, which is not often, I can get what I need with the bend wheel.
I was just thinking maybe I was missing some way of "performing" using this post. It seems more like random and emergent as far as I can tell.
