Reminds me of a sort of relentless Kurt Weil.

The Italian Renaissance composer and theorist Nicola Vicentino (1511-1576) experimented with microintervals and built a keyboard with 36 keys to the octave, known as the archicembalo.[citation needed] However Vicentino's experiments were primarily motivated by his research (as he saw it) on the ancient Greek genera, and by his desire to have beatless intervals (when played with near-harmonic-series timbres) available within chromatic compositions.

I complitly understand because I make microtonal music, hehehe. You're welcome on my profil. Cheers from Slovenia, Actooon ;)

to this point, each of the modes is a sequence of W's & H's to complete an octave. Major & minor are simply specific ways to choose 7 out of 12 possible steps. Sticking strictly to a scale [whichever one] is a standard approach. So what scale system is available in the QT context. Part of what can make beauty is working within a system, rather than 12-tone music, or as with QT 24-tone music??

interesting.. it would sound so much better with real instruments, but good luck finding musicians willing to learn, and play this kind of thing!
but have you considered using quarter-tones more sparingly, within a framework of mostly "normal" tuned stuff? for example, if you want to spice up your food with salt, you pour on just a little, rather than dump the whole container on.

thanks for the explanation. it makes sense now.

Hello shugabuns. An octave has 12 half-tones, i.e. 6 whole tones, therefore 24 quarter-tones. We normally break an octave down into diatonic scales, which are combinations of whole and half tones. Major scale being W, W, H, W, W, W, H. As you can see that would equal 7 divisions, once you add the octave to it, you get what you're describing as the 8.

I'm confused...doesn't an octave have 8 tones? |
