Topic: Tuning - Interesting thread on Pianoworld

Pianoworld is the other forum I'm at regularly, and the following is an interesting thread:

http://www.pianoworld.com/forum/ubbthre...t%20is%20a

What I found particularly interesting were the comments by ED Foote RPT in the third paragraph about unisons; "effective beat rate is non-existant, but the phase difference . . . . "

Thanks for this, Glenn. I tried moving the unison width to around 0.1 and it's quite wonderful--the sound evolves very slowly rather than beats. I like it a lot.

Doug:

I'm not sure I know what you mean by 0.1.

The default value is 1.00.

What setting are you using?

Re: Tuning - Interesting thread on Pianoworld

drag the "unison width" slider to almost the left side--you'll read values like 0.1 and 0.09. That's what I mean: extremely low but not nill unison width values.

When I try that I get a very harsh metallic shimmering effect.
