Re: [microsound] pitch/harmonics, math and perhaps samples too?



Max/MSP 4.5 has a very simple object called gizmo~, which is a FFT based
pitch shifter; the help file lets you specify the tuning as a floating-point
midinote, ie you can use any tuning system you care to build... So no need
for Jimmies if you can't afford them.
