Hi Kevin... try this little thingy that I wrote in my last posting on this thread, and if / as you get a handle on it see if you can start making use of it within the perspectives of tuning octaves. I've been on this track for a couple two, three months now and it still feels like I'm sniff'en around...but definatly on a strong scent. Actually I am having a gas with it all .. >Take two strings of a unison... tune it out so that there is a couple beats per second >going... then very slowly pull it close to clean... and listen real close to whats going on as it gets >past any discernable beating. To my ear... the first thing that happens is that you get to this really >slow kind of "meeeeoooowwwww " point. Not really a beat there the "meow" is way to slow >can stretch over a few seconds.... then past that there is a spot where you get what seems to me >like a "beat"that happens only once and isnt there afterwards.. This is a pretty quick "beat", and >after its one cycle the unison sound clean. When you get that quite the unison is dead dead on -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
