--> this is something a little older i finished with my day off today.

im gonna work on more ratio stuff, but wanted to drop this before diving back in.

if you care to hear it not slowed down:

explanation of technique

i use four midi lanes-each one represents one note. each lane is set up with a central pitch (i believe this is E3 in midi). above this pitch is the top note in the ratio, below is the bottom note. another way to think about it is that the bottom note determines the fundamental, and the top note determines which partial.

I can't dance to this.

Actually, I'd be curious to hear what it'd be like if you imposed a short ramp pitch drop to every nth note, making that note a bit more percussive than the rest but the same resolving pitch. Then I could dance all mathy.

I feel funny... and inspired to make a cartoon of these feelings. I am not really sure which version I like more. I like them both a lot.

Yes, I like to absorb the decay of the sounds as in the slower version

I find these odd tunings combined with these rich sounds fascinating
