Lucy Tuning
Description:Lucy Tuning is Free program for Mac OS X developed by lucytune.com LucyTuning is a melodic microtuning organization derived from Pi and the writings of John "Longitude" Harrison. This organization enables users to modulate and transpose using any scales or keys that they may prefer. Beyond the scales, tunings and modes of Western music (Lydian, Ionian, Mixolydian, Dorian, Aeolian, Phrygian, or Locrian...), with LucyTuning, it is imaginable to emulate Japanese, Indonesian, Chinese, Indian, Arabic (makam) and any conceivable tuning organization. Western harmonic organization may be employed with this very exact meantone tuning organization. This enables users to advance beyond the limitations of twelve note equal temperament (12tET), and produce music with controlled and predetermined levels of consonance or dissonance. It seems that the traditional orderly mapping of harmonics may be a simplistic paradigm of a more profound and fundamental underlying reality. Instead of considering audio as a unmoving two dimensional mapping (e.g. sine wave), there appears to be a vigorous pattern which could consist of more dimensions than are revealed by the standard physics and mathematics of acoustics. Lucy Tuning gives insight to this topology and organization. |
