So, now I know what the term "Railsback" is.

Let me show you an interesting thing:

This is a comparison of the divider coefficients in the Juno 106 voice board ROM with a "perfectly" tuned twelfth-root tuning.

It's kind of the same shape, isn't it? I notice that the lowest notes on a Railsback tuning are way flatter and way sharper being anything up to 30 cents different, and I'm not convinced that I can hear a difference between "ROM" tuning and "perfect" tuning.

I suppose that's another experiment to add to the pile, eh?
