At this moment , I believe that VT 100 cant be used to tune any fifths based
temperament using the custom style ability, as the fifths and twelve's
ratio's are not include in the model.

I mean we don't have access to them.

It was asked to Dave Carpenter, as being something interesting to have a
possibility to work on these ratios, not only on octaves, doubles and
triples?



Regards.

    Hi Ron. Bill B. has described the importance of tuning octaves a certain
way to get the proper effect for the EBVT (you can't do a proper EBVT on an
ETD!). Have you delved into programming octave relationships on the
Verituner that might give the desired octave relationships so that the
Verituner calculates a proper Bill B. EBVT?


  Yes, you can use the SAT to tune the octaves the way I do (I don't know
about RCT or Tunelab), I use it every day.  It can find the right pitch for
each note with the same accuracy as can be done aurally and can be put in a
program.  You can also use the FAC program and refine it by using the same
technique I do but the right correction figures for the temperament octave
have to be determined first.  When I finally am satisfied that I have them,
I'll explain how to use them with the FAC program.

  Anyone out there who thinks they have a set of figures, post them and I
will try them and let you know if they are working consistently from piano
to piano or not.

  The difficulty of determining a simple temperament octave like this is
what makes me not trust this approach to tuning HT's.  There is too much
possibility for error.  If you, as the tuner, don't really understand the
temperament aurally, how would you know one way or the other if it what is
intended?
