Archinovica 

What am I doing here? I have two essays and a story to write for my college classes, I'm not even a music major!

This video activated a sleeper agent

12 TET has been the most common tuning system in western music since the 18th century. A440 became the American pitch standard in the 20th century, but 12 TET has been around a lot longer.

Dang, I was conceptualizing something exactly like this a few months ago. Really cool to see someone went and built one of these, and even more awesome to see someone with a whole music degree implement it. Kudos!

Incredible video, crazy to find this channel so early on. With how high the production value is I was expecting way more subscribers. Subbed and keen to hear about any new advancements in this technology or music in general. Cheers!

I'd love some sort of tutorial. I've installed it, and got a MIDI looper so I can run it through Reaper. But I'm having trouble trying to wrap my head around how to control it. For example, how can I use this to alter the tuning of a 4-chord loop, but force it to arrive on the same I every time?

This seems very interesting.. would love to see a practical demo

I made a janky midi version of this a couple years ago. Cool to see it done better

This is so cool!

Thanks for sharing the code, I was able to run it. sounds very interesting!

thank you

from 1:57 until your face shows again it's hard to focus on your voice over the musical sounds in the background. And I didn't understand what that strange music is demonstrating

This is awesome, but I'm confused by some of the statements in the video. First, that equal temperament was broadly adopted in the 20th century- I thought it was much earlier than that, more like the 18th century? It would really change my understanding of a lot of 19th century music to learn it wasn't written in equal! Second is the statement that 'fractal geometry was only discovered in the mid-1970s'. Is 'fractal geometry' a subject more specific than the general area of fractals, because those were discovered much much earlier than the 1970s, and thoroughly researched in the early 1900s.

ur a mad scientist

Great!

A very interesting project indeed! It is fascinating when new technology allows you to broaden your scope. It would be nice to hear a bit about implementation, though (under what criteria are keys established? Is it based on 5-limit JI, or do you consider higher overtones as well?). As a Norwegian, I feel obligated to tell about a Norwegian composer named Eivind Groven who you may not have heard of, who had a somewhat similar project all the way back in the 40's-60's. He built three justly tuned organs with automatic key switching, so you could play it on a normal keyboard. Of course, he was more restricted by the technology of his day, so he could not implement infinitely many tones. Therefore, it was technically speaking not justly tuned either, instead, it was based on a schismatic temperament if I remember correctly (eight fifths equal four octaves plus a minor sixth -- the fifths are only like 0.2 cents out of tune, so it is very close). Two of the organs had 36 tones per octave and the last had 43. It is a very interesting story how he built them actually, he did it completely from scratch using old telephone switchboards (at least the first one), teaching himself electronics in the process.

Is it released? This would be super cool to work with.

its this, or playing twelve keyboards

Let's what you do with it. God bless

This is fascinating and I love this video for drawing attention to the Archinovica, but WHY did you use exclusively *non-diatonic* background music to (fail to) demonstrate a novel instrument's ground-breaking capability to change JI tunings between different *keys*?

I am trying to set this up. I'm assuming it doesn't make sound on its own, and needs to be routed to a VST?

Is this limited to the 5-limit?

yooooooooo
