>>chromatic digital tuner.... permanently fixed to an aux output on 
mixing desk.<<

I've never found a tuner I really got on with- what's the resolution 
like on this korg? this is the 1U rackmount with the giant swinging 
display I've seen in so many bass-rigs over the years, I think. 

I tried the same sort of thing with the tuner in my boss se-70 while 
resampling some noises a few years ago & it actually made things 
worse than the old method which was to keep a stratocaster in the 
room. (e.g. does that note sound alright with /this/ chord, which it 
should go with? & what about /this/ chord..? overtones....)

if I can elaborate, without getting too mathy....

being a mellotron user has really opened my eyes to a whole 
mysterious world of micro-tuning, temperament, intonation, making the 
harmonic series work for you in the sense that the tuning is 
optimised for the selection of notes involved in the piece...

(rambles on for half-an-hour about microtuning & roger luther's 
modular moog, dave smith.... green hangover... sees sense, deletes 
the lot) 

ah.... so what I really want, I suppose, is to be able to send a 
command to my proteus modules every time I change part (key, in fact, 
round here). this would alter one of several things, depending what's 
actually do-able with the proteus midi implementation: 
master tuning or "transpose" (chromatic, of course, while the p3 
takes care of the actual notes played in the new range by changing 
scale at the same time). 
or possibly, globally, the master tuning table for the whole box. I 
don't think it can do this...

why don't I just use the part xpose? because there will be other 
things passing through the p3 & being F'd-T-S; I need them to do a 
corresponding /chromatic/ shift aswell, & part xpose won't shift 
incoming notes.
colin, how does the root note of a scale affect the processing of 
note numbers? 
what I'd /like/ it to do is offset all the midi note numbers passing 
through FTS processing. so if you start off in Cmaj & then change to 
a part using Dmin, all the notes that would've been C should now be 
D, while all the notes that aren't C also get moved up two semitones 
& then nudged again so that they conform to the new scale. this would 
work on all notes leaving the p3, wherever they came from, except 
where they are set to non-xpose.
this would make it possible to play any sequence of midi notes 
through the p3 & transpose them into any other key, by changing the 
FTS root & scale together (i.e. a full key change).

any thoughts?
