I am resending the mail I sent under subject: tuning file format Summary: tuning timidity works on linux NOT on Windows. If there is some other (gui-based) way of specifying the tuning file to timidity please let me know
There are any people on the tuning list who would be interested in knowing --------------------------Earlier mail resent --------------------- Ok So heres whats (finally) worked for me: 1. In scala choose the scale you want [There are zillions of scales available in scala and all kinds of ways of making them. Ive attached ET and an exaggerated Just to see (hear) the difference 2. set synth to timidity using -Z option (option 117) Many ways of doing this eg. a. GUI way Edit -> Prefs -> Midi-tab Synth tuning options(Send) choose model 117 (it should say timidity via -Z option text file [GUI way does now seem to work in windows] b. a simpler (non gui) way is the command set synth 117 3. Click send on toolbar scala should respond with Timidity, via -Z option text file: this model exports a text file, save instead? Say yes and give the name of a tuning file say mytuning.tbl 4. [Out of scala at a shell] timidity -Z mytuning.tbl music.mid should now play the music with the new tuning NOTE: timidity works in linux not on windows; ie the timidity command line on windows sounds the same with and without the -Z option whereas it is expectedly different in linux Whereas scala gives low-level errors on linux when it tries to spawn external programs on linux not windows. In the workflow I am using above I dont need those spawn commands Files Attached cminor.midi -- for trial exaji.scl -- should be audibly different ET.scl -- should be same as untuned exaji.tbl -- scala's converted scl file to timidity tbl format For windows you may try converting it to Dos (LF -> CR LF) -- still does not work
