hi moritz, lovely idea! i read this with great interest, as i happen to work on a piece for the tiergarten carillon + electronics in berlin right now. on the website about the carillon you mention the range of the instrument is almost 3 octaves (35 bells). but the lowest note is sounding rather an a (midi 57) instead of an A (midi 45). the soundrecording you provide, actually confirms this. carillons tend to be notated an octave lower, at least the berlin one is, and its lowest bell is g (midi 55), weighting several tons already.
i thought i mention, just before someone wants to go all bassy... now i have to convert my max-patch for berlin to pd for weimar :-) cheers hans www.hans-w-koch.net Am 18.06.2011 um 23:28 schrieb [email protected]: > Message: 3 > Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 15:48:56 +0200 > From: Moritz Schell <[email protected]> > Subject: [PD] pd-con 2011: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS > To: [email protected] > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed; delsp=yes > > Dear pd-community, > > > you have the chance to rock the bells of weimar city hall! > > During the pd-convention from 8.8-14.8.2011 in weimar there will be > the possibility for "little evening concerts" on the porcelain > carillon in the tower of weimar cityhall.
