Although this is more than half the tones available in 46edo, I think it makes sense to still call this orgone, as there are lots of contiguous tones in the generator chain and a whole chunk of the chain is not used at all (represented by the _'s at the end of the list above). I was hardly thinking about the generator chain at all as I composed the piece: I was simply developing a chord progression and melody bit by bit, paying attention to the sorts of chords I was producing as I went. It was this particular keyboard and this particular mapping that made my intuitive approach to a complex temperament in a relatively large EDO not only possible but actually pretty easy! No other interface could have generated this song. | ||
