Re: [Doepfer_a100] Quantizing to Alternative tuning

2014-10-10 by Martin Fay

Intonation or temperament are other terms for micro-tuning, it was a  
big thing a few centuries ago when keyboard instruments were being  
invented. "The Well Tempered Klavier" by Bach is a historic reference  
to this.
