; testing tunings
The easiest way to test all the tunings is to place a copy of
the megatunings file into the SCOM/Extensions folder. When
you next time start up the program all tunings have been
defined and you are ready to use them. Before starting the
testing check out that the steps between semitones figure
(here 4096) matches your synth. When you compile the following
score you should hear a 24 step octave.
(def-section a
default
zone '(2/1)
tonality (activate-tonality (equal-tempered 24 'c 4 4096))
length '(1/8)
duration '(1/4t)
velocity '(64)
piano
symbol '(a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p)
)
(midiport :printer)
(def-tempo 120)
(play-file-p "tunings"
piano '(a)
)
When testing the tonalities copy the tuning you want to test into the
activate-tonality as in below. Change the symbols if necessary. Each
instrument must be monophoning, do not use chord symbols. If you do
tuned chords symbol-separate the chord progression into multiple
monophonic instruments. Use def-orchestra to inherit similar
classes to these monophonic instruments.
