The rest of it is that once a single sampling is analyzed for partial frequencies and their proportional relationship, this information would be used to calculate the tuning curve with all the custom weighting tweaks. The algorithm controlling the spinner needs only keep track of one partial as usual, the pitch of which is determined by the tuning curve calculation (et al). You wouldn't need to continually read and mix all the partials of the string in real time to control the spinner if their relationships to one another are stable through moderate pitch changes. Track one, and the rest follow. Ron N ---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
