Re: [Doepfer_a100] Quantizing to Alternative tuning

2014-10-09 by Tonko Sekulo

A lot of people are using ES-3 and Silent Way for microtonal scales. Probably you could use ES-3/ES-6 combo as a quantizer for cv sources.

Interesting thought indeed!
I had not spend to much thought on it as you see :D

I was just thinking about being able to tune beatings of two oscillators with two (more correctly said perhaps) semi-microtonal quantizers..
It was just a quick thought though...

I thought an Ardcore had 8-bit D/A, that would not be enough precision for microtuning which requires cent-level (bare minimum!) precision?

I think the Ardcore is indeed the easiest way to go. I was thinking of a microtonal quantizer myself this week. I don9;t know why... but it just crossed my mind.
My conclusion then was also an arduino based solution like the Ardcore.

That sounds doable - though I'm no programmer. I shall check it out.

Another use would be to pull the stored random quarter tones of the A149-1 to scales that contain quarter tones and semitones - like Arabic music for instance.

Any other ideas?

One approach would be an Ardcore module set up as a quantiser (there is a quantiser sketch in the core set) which you could then tune as you wished

I'm thinking about making a price of music that is tuned to harmonics and would like to be able to quantize sequencers, other controllers to pitches that I determine beforehand. I hope that makes sense.
