Getting Started
Hello there! I'm fairly new to this wiki myself... I hope we can talk about stuff. --Aura (talk) 04:16, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Although I'm not too new, I also hope that we'll be able to talk about cool things eventually! --CritDeathX (talk) 13:46, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Hi all! Why not. Right now I’m still in the proccess of sorting out my microtonal VSTs and playing a bit with scales via Sevish’s Scale Workshop—no big ideas to share yet.
- Though maybe you know something about synthesizing a timbre without 5, 10, 15, … overtones? (To try it in 17edo: I imagine subminor and supermajor thirds would look more consonant without ghosts of detuned minor and major thirds interfring.) IIRC Xenharmonic FMTS allows to generate specific overtones, but is it possible to somehow filter them out instead?

- The trick to overtone elimination is careful use of Pulse Width Modulation. Get a synth with a square or tri/saw that lets you alter the width/angle of the waveforms and carefully adjust it until the right ones are misssing. On ableton live's Analog a no 5's pulse wave is conveniently at precisely 35%, for example. That or if the synth has a notch filter, set key tracking to 100% and the Q right up and put it directly over the harmonic you want to eliminate. This won't get rid of all it's multiples as well in the same way, but it's a good start, especially if it has 2 or 3 filters you can use in tandem.

- You may not have big ideas, Arseniiv, but I already seem to have a few... Feel free to check out my own personal pages for all that stuff! If I need to improve on something, let me know! It may be true that you'll get some measure of resistance out of me at times, but even then, I seem to have a way of warming up to good ideas eventually... --Aura (talk) 20:02, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
Infobox helper
See here User:Xenwolf#template:Infobox Interval for a template that auto-fills ratio and size (provided the page title is of the form n/d). --Xenwolf (talk) 20:47, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Neat! Though the last pages I edited, I wrote some code to generate the template by a ratio, and then I only fill in the other stuff.
BTW do you know how to replace a character in argument with another one?Found it. --Arseniiv (talk) 21:18, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##replace ? That would also answer my trailing-dot problem ;) --Xenwolf (talk) 21:24, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
