No "but". You can redefine at will, for individual notes. If you need a player, try timidity. If you have obsolete equipment that can only do pitch bends, you can use Scalia to convert a MIDI file. Scalia can also convert back. > It's not so much the pitches that are the issue, it's the > intervals, and MIDI kind of constrains what you can do about > that, so you do kind of end up abusing pitch bend... Nope. (not that abusing pitch bend is a tragedy though) Since 1996, the MIDI tuning specification has allowed you to set the pitch to within 1/16384 of a semitone. Since 1999, the MIDI tuning extensions have made this a bit more efficient. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
