** '''Mike Battaglia note:''' you should be aware that, strictly speaking, Giant Steps doesn't actually involve a comma pump unless you deliberately want the "B" in the beginning at the top of the progression to be the same as the "B" at the end at the bottom. If you don't, it doesn't matter; then you can treat it starting at B and going down to Cb, and then ending on top at D#, and then it'll work in temperaments that don't temper out 128/125, such as 19-EDO. The important thing is that nothing drifts with each successive iteration of the head. | ** '''Mike Battaglia note:''' you should be aware that, strictly speaking, Giant Steps doesn't actually involve a comma pump unless you deliberately want the "B" in the beginning at the top of the progression to be the same as the "B" at the end at the bottom.
