My thoughts about a multipartial display are very much along these lines... looking for things that we havent really looked at. Todays tuning theory is still very much limited by the fact that we really take concern to one partial at a time. ETD's are severely limited by this (read below before reacting to that line ok?) , and ear tuners are taught to aurally "zoom in" on one partial at a time for any given interval. That basic approach works really well as I am sure just about everyone aggrees with. Even tho I say this limits severly what an ETD can do... this limitation is no worse then that said ETD's can give you the frequenices for a tuning that will be better in most regards then a large proportion of the aural tuning community is capapble of. This to me just means that the ETD's are ...grin... better educated then those aural tuners who cant do as well. The idea that an ETD can inherently and in general always "hear" better then the human ear to my mind is ludicrous... and in any case way to over simplified an explanation for whats going on. But I am begining to wonder now whether or not there is something beyond just matching two partial ladders going on here...As for you being crazy or not....hey...you are from down over arent you ??? :) > > > Regards > > Tony Caught ICPTG > Australia > caute@optusnet.com.au -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
