Let's say in a case where you wanted a clean = (beatless) 4:2 octave and you specified no other partial relationships, the spinner = presumably would stop when this condition was met. Now maybe if further up the = scale you had specified a 2:1 octave, then of course I should think that the = spinner was based on a compromise between these two relationships. But we are only = talking about two different partials for targeting the pitch of this one note. I = would think that the VT, for that note, would only be considering the two = partials. Of course, in better "styles", such as the wonderful one I have been using = that was authored by you (THANKS!!!!!), there are at least six or eight partials = that the "style" forces the VT to consider and make a compromise among those to = determine the target pitch for that note.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>So I guess that's my question. Isn't it the = "style" thingee that dictates which partials are incorporated to calculating = target pitch?</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Terry Farrell</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>----- Original Message ----- </FONT> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From: "Ron Koval" <</FONT><A href="mailto:drwoodwind@hotmail.com"><FONT face=Arial size=2>drwoodwind@hotmail.com</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial size=2>></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To: <</FONT><A href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org"><FONT face=Arial size=2>pianotech@ptg.org</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial = size=2>></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 9:15 AM</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Subject: Verituner spinner movement</FONT></DIV></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT = face=Arial size=2>> Terry Farrell asked:<BR>> <BR>> Is it the more = prominent partials that drive the spinner or is that =<BR>> controlled by = data in the "style" coding?
