<pre class="k9mail">I updated the demo a little bit more, and added lots of explanation. So you should be able to build your own pretty easily (if you can find a source of 40-position slide switches).<br /><br /> <a href="http://till.com/articles/muse">http://till.com/articles/muse</a>/<br /><br />This paragraph sums up an appreciation I have for The Muse after doing the research: <br /><br />"Musical composition often includes riffs, patterns, call and response, and thematic development. And sure enough, all of those elements are available here."<br /><br />Also interesting is this paragraph: <br /><br />"The good news is that most of the notes of the major scale have very simple frequency values in binary. Starting from a C of 1.0 binary, D is 1.001, E is 1.01, G is 1.1, C-octave is 10.0, all in just temperament and plenty close in equal temperament. The F, A, and B require a few more bits, but not a lot."<br /><br /> -- Don<br />--<br />Donald Tillman, Palo Alto, California<br /><a href="http://www.till.com">http://www.till.com</a><br /><br /><br /><hr /><br />Synth-diy mailing list<br />Synth-diy@synth-diy.org<br /><a href="http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy">http://synth-diy.org/mailman/listinfo/synth-diy</a><br /><br /></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
