Yeah chord sounds like shit. Just tuned, as it is called with perfect intervals, it should sound wonderful, and anything else wouldn't really be stable in the way the astronomy portion of the article seems to say.
- Ericson2314 10y agoFor the record, equal temperament is needed to make certain complex chord progressions sound good, but individual static chords always should sound best with just intonation.
- yellowapple 10y agoWith certain instruments (voice, strings, and trombones, namely; valve/rotor brass instruments with finger-actuated tuning slides can pull this off, too, depending on the arrangement), just intonation should work for nearly all chord progressions, since the instrument is not constrained to particular pitches and thus can freely move around to adjust for each chord in quick succession.
- Ericson2314 10y agoRight I wouldn't call that just intonation though, since pitches do not have a static fundamental frequency. I'd love to write a program that, given some midi, finds the perfect such dynamic tuning. Then something else can either synthesize with that directly, or fake it with the pitch weel.
