kenton pro-2000, tuning

2002-09-03 by celesteh@casaninja.com

Hey folks,

When I got my MOTM modules, Paul sold me a Kenton pro-2000 MIDI to CV
converter to go with it. I'd like to do some microtonal stuff and I was
wondering if it's possible to dump tunings to the kenton box like you can
with some digital synths?

If there's one volt/octave tuning, does 1/1200 of a volt = 1 cent?

Thanks very much,

celeste

cent - the equally tempered scale has 100 cents between each chromatic
pitch. The hz of pitch n+1 = n * ( 1 + 12throot(2))

(as in the twelvth root of 2).

Heh heh, yeah!

RR has a Mac app that can be used to download tuning tables into 'things'. I plan to use that as the first front end for the Expressionist. (Old one and new one)

RE: [motm] kenton pro-2000, tuning

It would be nice if it supported variable length scales. i'm seeking a 20
note "octave", where the octave is somewhat wider than than double the hz.
i can compute the needed voltages in software, so i ought to just be
looking for a d to a converter.

thanks,
celeste

Robert thinks since he wrote the MIDI Microtuning Standard, he can get anything he wants. Yeah! And he should. Thanks Robert!!!! I hope you re lurking here under some alias.

And I want it too! Since some key mircotuning/microtonal synth people are also MOTM owners (Robert and John of course), it seems like a great match.

I really am looking forward to it.

Tony, there are lots of great ideas here, so I hope you take advantage of them and query us about it. The biggest items is full-range mapping rather than just scale-range.

Cheers!

I'm reading these emails even though I rarely reply lately..(working too much on other things right now)

When you see more regular email from me, you'll know this thing I've been working on has shipped and I can get back analog synth stuff! (Frequency shifter, Expressionist II, Expressionist 1 update, JP8 update) BTW, the frequency shifter is getting attention, but at an obviously low priority. The other day (as in a few months ago) my 4 year old son said "you work too much and don't play with me enough." That statement right there also has an impact on the frequency shifter. (sorry)

I know what you mean. My son is 1 y. now, but he already knows how
to get my attention. Seeing him on his rocking sheep (a "converted"
rocking horse) is almost as funny as building my PS3200 clone.

We're still waiting for his first intelligible word.
My wife wants it to be "Mama"; I always promt him to say "Obie Eight".

My son's first word was "car". (uh-oh).
