The Kite guitar can be tuned to a specific pitch using the [http://tallkite.com/misc_files/EDOtuner.txt EDOtuner] (text file, right click and "save as..."), a free strobe tuner for microtonal guitars (requires [https://www.reaper.fm/ Reaper] or [https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/ ReaJS]). Presets for the Kite guitar can be found here: http://tallkite.com/misc_files/js-MIDI_EDOtuner_txt.ini In Reaper, select Options/Show REAPER Resource Path and put the .ini file in the Presets folder. | The Kite guitar can be tuned to a specific pitch using the [http://tallkite.com/misc_files/EDOtuner.txt EDOtuner] (text file, right click and "save as..."), a free strobe tuner for microtonal guitars (requires [https://www.reaper.fm/ Reaper] or [https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/ ReaJS]).

=== Translating Microtonal Material === | |||
Obviously 7-limit JI material translates easily. Material in either 19-edo or 22-edo usually translates fairy easily. 19-edo tempers out 81/80 but inflates 64/63 to a full edostep. Vice versa for 22-edo. (In fact, 41-edo is somewhat like a cross between the two edos. 41edo's edomapping is the sum of those of 19 and 22 for most primes except 13 and 23.) Just as translating 12-edo or 19-edo material with an 81/80 comma pump requires a half-fret pitch shift, translating 22-edo works with a 250/243 comma pump does too. As does translating 19edo material with a 49/48 comma pump. The same rules apply. | |||
The Bohlen-Pierce 13-EDT scale is a subset of 41edo, so a direct translation is possible, but usually awkward to play. Another possibility is translating to one of the [[Kite Guitar Scales#Octotonic (3L 3m 2s)|Octotonic (3L 3m 2s)]] scales, which have unequal steps, but avoid the 3 wolves of B-P (^5, v8 and M10). | |||
