Re: [HG-new] Humidity and Tuners

I think the tuner that Simon refers to ONLY runs on a MAC I use Chromatia tuner on my windows PCs from Fmj-Soft http://www.fmjsoft.com/ctmain.shtml It works well and you can write your own temperaments as text files Out of interest I looked at the numbers for Just Temperament (Barbour) on that site Some of the numbers are very strange and don't conform to the simple harmonic ratios normally used in Just Temperament Further research found references to Barbour having got Just Temperament seriously wrong in his book Just Temperament uses the integer frequency ratios starting at the root tonic note as below Ratio    Cents dev from ET 1:1               0     Root tonic note 16:15            +12 9:8              +4 6:5              +16    Minor third 5:4              -14    Major third 4:3              -2 45:32            -10 3:2              +2     Perfect fifth 8:5              +14 5:3              -16 16:9             -4 15:8             -12 2:1               0     Octave This works well, I and many others have been using these numbers on HGs for many years Graham On 27/04/2010 09:12, Simon Wascher wrote: Hello, Am 26.04.2010 um 20:13 schrieb LVJay: What is the best electronic tuner to use (with the ability to use non- equal temperament, of course) I use the shareware "Chromatic Tuner 1.8" http://www.katsurashareware.com/chromatic/chromatic.html on my laptop. It supports a variety of tunings. As it is  a program for my laptop it can use all input-methods the laptop offers.
