Toput it simply, it is like operating the old fashion way: music authors worked alongside music producers, who wrote top lines and chord progressions while the producer decided in which manner to distribute the sounds in the song.
Another big plus of midi chord progression is the fact that you can learn from them. Know what chords trigger your emotions the most: an add9? An 11th? Learn the shapes and the rhythm patterns of these chords and how they interact as a whole.
MIDI packs are not only for people starting with music production. A chord progression can be used as a starting point for further embellishment or as a starting point for a more complex harmonic structure.
A Tuning theory article just popped up. I'm not sure what I think about its existence... it seems to me like if it takes off it should overlap too much with stuff that belongs on Musical tuning... any thougts? (My tought at the moment is that it probably deserves a category... but not another content-filled page.) - Rainwarrior 13:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I finally put my MIDI tuning program called Intun back up on a webpage. I don't know how many of you use Windows, but I thought it might be of interest to some of you. I wrote it four years ago but it still serves me well. (It's freeware, by the way.)
Ortgies' list has about 50 organs, Wraight about 25 Italian harpsichords, and I found about the same in reed organs, compiling an editable chronological list would be useful but could it be trouble deciding what makes it or not so it doesn't become uselessly big?

I added a page on the undertone series. I know it wasn't on the list but I still think that it's still important musically. I have put everything about the undertone series that I know and to my knowledge it's all correct. If anyone would like to go over it, some more stuff to, and just make sure it's correct I would appreciate it. Thanks. SN122787 22:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Many of our articles about tuning systems have external links to recordings of compositions in them. This is not explicitely forbidden by WP:EL, but it's not an ideal situation either: people reading Wikipedia on a CD because they have no Internet access are out of luck. Ideally we should have freely licensed examples uploaded to Wikipedia, but sometimes external links are necessary.
I recall reading that Leonardo da Vinci formulated a tuning system based on the frequencies of the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. I tried looking stuff up on this online but couldn't find much. Anyone know what I am talking about or perhaps what this type of scale was called? SN122787 18:19, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory.The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:46, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have added this article to the list in this project page. The aim of the article is to show the many meanings that diatonic and chromatic have accumulated (in connection with scales, etc.), and to show something of their evolution and current applications. This seemed like a good idea, especially since editors themselves use these terms in different and incompatible ways in Wikipedia music theory articles. Much has been done; more sections need to be added. Members of this project may like to take a look.
Richard Maunder wrote a little about it in Keyboard Instruments in Eighteenth-Century Vienna Oxford University Press, 1998, page 78 - the piano has inventory number SAM 610, and is labelled "Andreas Rebele von/ Monheim in der oberen/ Pfalz dem 22^ten^ Jul 1796". It has been attributed to Johann Jacob Knnicke, and apparently it would be the only one by him with a non escapement Stossmechanik action. An article from the Wiener Zeitung October 12 that year reported J. G. Roser, Kapellmeister at Linze Cathedral had played a concert in Vienna on a "pianoforte with complete harmony" made by "Johann Jakob Knig" (according to Roser's son the audience included Haydn and Beethoven), but does not explain any more or describe the instrument, and Maunder wrote "there seems little reason to think that it was anything like the Rebele piano, although the coincidence of date is curious." He refers to an article by Alfons Huber about it in Der Klangwelt Mozarts, Vienna, 1991. - Mireut 14:19, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I want to contribute to some articles within the scope of this project, and I'm wondering if there is a preferred way of expressing the names of pitch class sets. Allen Forte has a naming system in his The Structure of Atonal Music, which I believe to be notable, but pitch sets can also be referred to by naming the pitches contained within the set (024579E being either C Major or A minor with no transposition or inversion, or the so called "prime form" of all major and natural minor scales, for example.), which is also notable. I'll work on some articles, perhaps if the manual of style people object to something, we can come up with a standard for when to use either naming convention. --Kento 12:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
At the Diesis page (and other similar pages) I saw a request for an audio file and I thought I might be able to make one with Scala. A quick attempt seems to have worked. Scala makes MIDI files, so I'm not sure it would work correctly on various computers, so I thought I'd ask before trying to add it to the article (and figuring out how best to do that). I know it could sound better, but it is just demonstrating the sound of the diesis comma. I just wonder if people think something like this would be useful for that page, and other pages on commas.
I just nominated Hexany for deletion. I thought you folks might have a better sense than I if it was worth keeping: I'm a equal-tempered sort. :-)--uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 19:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Both the 22 equal temperament and 31 equal temperament claim that the "Orwell tetrad" exists within them, but neither article explains what it is (beyond being a possible sonority), and there is no article. I can't find anything on it anywhere. Does anybody know its significance? Does it have anything to do with the (redlinked, stated as 1728/1715 but otherwise unexplained) Orwell comma?
A succession of anonymous IPs keep adding 88-EDO to List of meantone intervals. I keep reverting it, since 88-EDO is not a meantone. It's slow, only an edit war because there isn't any other editing going on, but still a bit frustrating.
What is the desired way to notate unusual (typically non-western) tunings? I don't quite see a common style across the articles I've encountered so far. Personally I would prefer a physical/mathematical approach - like frequencies in Hz - rather than trying to modify a western 12-note based notation into describing these tunings. Is there an official Wiki recommendation that I didn't notice? JoaCHIP (talk) 22:10, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
