Channel-tuning

Hello,

on page 140 of Notes from the Metalevel, the author set the :channel-tuning parameter to 108 in Interaction 2.

According to the CM2 documentation which is available on the Web, :channel-tuning should not exceed 16. Why is it equal to 108 here and what does that value mean?

Furthermore, what is the equivalent on :channel-tuning 108 in CM3? send("midi:tuning", <value>) ?

Many thanks.

Philippe

ill have to look at the book when i get to the office later, but  
offhand a value 108 looks to be a typo
channel tuning in cm3 its divisions-per-semitone 1 to 16 so 1 is  
standard semitone tuning, 2 is quarter tone, and 16 is a quantization  
of 6.25 cents

you can get a good idea of whats going on if you use the Midi  
Out>Tuning>   menu

or read the doc on mp:tuning  -- in the editor click  on the word  
mp:tuning  and hit Command-D

send("mp:tuning", 1)

remeber you will only actually hear microtuning if you actually  
generate floating point keynums, eg  60.1   where .1 means 10 cents  
above key 60

Many thanks.

I did look at the CM3 documentation on  mp:tuning and noticed that the values should be between 1 and 16.

But, unfortunately, the examples in your book are written in CM2 (?) and I could not find an equivalent command in the CM3 documentation to :channel-tuning 108 (used on pp 140, 142, 15 -- ct8 ? --, and 149).

thats because of this comment in my CM2 code:

   ;; WHAT A FREAKING MESS! I should never have added done the
   ;; "divisions-per-octave"


so 180 is divisions-per-octave in CM2  is exactly the same as 15  
divisions per semitone in both CM2 and CM3

cm> (/ 1200 180.0)
6.6666666666667

cm> (/ 100 15.0)
6.6666666666667
