<BR>simulation called "Temperament Designer" and came up with the
<BR>following offsets for Bill's EBVT:
<BR>
<BR>A -1.73
<BR>A# -0.10
<BR>B -1.15
<BR>C 3.62
<BR>C# -0.75
<BR>D 0.08
<BR>D# 0.27
<BR>E -2.59
<BR>F 1.37
<BR>F# -3.01
<BR>G 2.77
<BR>G# 0.76

<BR>With all due respect, I tried these figures (admittedly being inexperienced using the FAC program). They did not at all produce what I do by ear. The results must produce 4 pure 5ths and a number of intervals that beat exactly the same as each other. These figures did not in any way produce these results. Also, and just as important, using the FAC program will not produce the unique Tempered Octaves that I use.
<BR>
<BR>To date, there is no electronic calculation that I know of which will produce the EBVT with Tempered Octaves. I use the Direct Interval approach with the SAT. It is an alternative and entirely different way of using the SAT which gives me consistently the same results as I desire aurally.
<BR>
<BR>If there are enough people who want my unique system to be taught at the Convention in Chicago, you'll all have to express your desires to the Institute Committee. And fair warning to the IC: I won't do it in a 45 minute Mini Tech and I also want to find an opportunity for the EBVT to be heard in a *MUSIC* recital, (not an interval banging session).
<BR>
<BR>As far as Tuneoffs go, I would offer my system against Ed Foote's any day of the year. He doesn't do what I do and I certainly don't do what he does. Mine produces easily discernible and superior results.
