That’s really interesting, is there a particular name that scale is known by? The tuning sounds sounds fascinating. Do you have any youtube examples? I’d love to hear it, I have a feeling it is exactly what I’m interested in, I love the sound of koto and similar Asian instruments.
Is it possible to set up that kind of tuning in Rack? I have to admit I wouldn’t know where to start, I used to play sitar so I’m familiar with Just and Equal but that sounds like something entirely different.
Tonight I was playing with BespokeSynth which handily allows equal, ratio, just, pyth and mean intonations and a bunch of unusual scales. I was using just with Iwato and hirajoshi but I don’t know what those scales are meant to be played in or even what the other available intonations are. I will look into what you mentioned though, it sounds very interesting.
