But not all synths will understand the codes for these. I think Aeolus does alternative tunings by essentially recalibrating its scale internally. It doesn't change the MIDI notes, though. So would a synth using soundfonts be able to do the same thing? I presume a soundfont contains at least one sample for each pitch, probably recorded at a standard pitch (modern temperament) rather than some other tuning, so how could such a synth change its scale? -- David gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx authenticity, honesty, community _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
