Doepfer

No worries, I suppose I sounded rather defensive as well.  I do think RDJ is a genius, an incredible talent, and probably MY favorite user (although I'm uneducated) of a custom scale.  I just mentioned it as an example earlier because it had been in the press and provided an example of non-chromatic.

Would it not also be possible to use a normal chromatic quantizer like the DOEPFER! a156 and run its output through a precision /2 voltage divider?  This would result in quarter tones, but I don't know if that's good enough for David's application.

I'm thinking about making a price of music that is tuned to harmonics and would like to be able to quantize sequencers, other controllers to pitches that I determine beforehand. I hope that makes sense.
