You try this one then Don... do the same as you suggested to me.. then use Tunelab in a direct reference fashion to expand your octaves to whatever is your preference.... doesnt matter as long as you do it consistantly.. for example set a whole 13 note sequence of 4:2:1's... followed by straight 2:1's in whatever high treble notes you have left. Then select RCT in a corresponding stretch and compare.....and try and ask yourself why the results are what they are. Oh there is lots and lots you can do with ETD's to learn more about what we do. Perhaps we can even learn that the whole basic premis of the single partial smooth curve is flawed.... or .... perhaps not. We wont ever know until we seriously try and find out. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no
