[CAUT] Tunic OnlyPure Software

[Richard Brekne]

Hi Linda

I know you're smart enough to pretty much have the basic idea figured 
out already. But for the sake of clarity :

There are really only two options here once one first admits to having 
to take into account an instruments inharmonicity.  Either one 
pre-samples and estimates the inharmonicity of the instrument... or one 
catches it on the fly like Verituner. Either way, the rest is simply 
imposing whatever tuning priorities you have chosen onto that 
inharmonicity. Since Bernard clearly takes into account individual 
instrument inharmonicity, and since he likewise clearly does not do this 
as RCT, Tunelab, and SAT does (ie pre-sampling)  he's left with doing it 
on the fly.  Just exactly WHAT he imposes on the instruments 
inharmonicity should be fairly clear to all, since the basic subject 
matter has been tossed around here and on pianotech for nearly 10 years 
now. The only thing really in doubt is what particular fudge factors he 
uses.

As long as the software is glitch free... its no doubt a fine 
implementation and worth every penny if you like such tools.  A couple 
years back he was offering some kind of aural license to tune P-12ths 
I'm sure you all remember..... That along with his published work on the 
matter and other material published both before, parallel and after 
should be enough for anyone to get the picture.

    While you are posting here on this list Bernard, why don´t you give 
    more information about your product and how it works. It would stop
    us from guessing. I am insterested in buying it just  mainly because
    I have an iphone and it would be nice to have a tuning  program on
    the device, but I need to know more about it.

    What does it do? Is it listening to multipartials like the
    Verituner  or only one at a time like Tune-lab?  To start with..
