Wow! Very cool.
Sweet!
Amazing
!!!!! yippppppiiieee!!!!!
oh this is great news!
What exactly is this? I don’t quite get. Why is this cool,amazing,sweet or great news? Thanks guys...
Yeah, what’s the difference between micro tuned and out of tune?
hihi
This. What advantage?
When I put my guitar into the sun it gets microtuning
In case you were serious in your enquiries about microtuning ... Much non-Western music uses a more fine-tuned scale. So, where we in the western world would utilize the chromatic scale consisting of twelve tones, there would be tones in between those twelve tones in 'microtuned' scales. We might say 'quarter tones'. A good example might be the sitar in Indian music, where a note can be moved, bent or shaped with more gradation than our ears are accustomed to.
Anyone with more expertise please feel free to elaborate or correct me here.
edited not thirteen tones but twelve tones. Guess I was including the octave. ugh
If you are interested in alternative tunings, this contains a brilliant discussion of them and implementing them circa 1997 (with references going back to the mid 80’s and earlier).

The whole article here is really a valuable read to all iOS musicians of any genre as it really shows the state of the art of midi, digital, analog music making in terms of the hardware of the day in those times. And we have all of this and more on our phones and iPads.
But sadly bound to tune 12 notes within an octave?
At least a start.
The difference is a world full of scales and a universe full of scales.
Some instruments really shine at some for us weird scales/tunings and can really create a mood you can´t really do with the 12 note ET.
12et is a compromise tuning that permits modulation without sounding too terribly out of tune. But given that most electronic musicians don't modulate, there is really no good reason to use 12et other than ignorance of the other alternatives, or lack of equipment that supports it. Now that we have a growing number of good apps that support just intonation and other tunings, there is less reason to continue to use 12et.
Not just Indian classical musicians (the good ones). Most experienced blues and jazz musicians can hear a number of extra blue notes that are not part of 12et. For example, start on the major second and bend up very slightly until you hear the blue note come. That's one non-et minor third. Now play the et minor third and bend upward slightly until the other blue note comes.
It can be weird to hear and there are good and bad examples. F.e. i like this. Unusual but great for me.
There are also harmonics possible you never can do with 12ET.
great news. Thank you IceWorks.
Microtuning is a new tool in these synths that can be used for good and bad.
How far you can go with it depends on your target group of listeners - not every ear is trained to enjoy the more "drastic" (sorry) microtunings, but starting with very subtle settings can be a rewarding experience.
Now you can.
