[sdiy] just quantization

[anthony]

I was worried that for it to be completely versatile that it would be 
unbelievably complicated - considering all of the tuning systems I want to 
try.

The microtonal-synthesis website is awesome. More notes than I ever knew 
about.
Harry Partch and Wendy Carlos were the ones fresh in my head.

I use Cubase VST too and I have plug-ins for all kinds of tunings.
I just always like to have an all-analog solution for most this.
I'm liking my (new) PC a lot less and less. I miss my old Macs that died.
I'd probably be more eager for MIDI again if I had a Mac again.
