I used about half of the tones produced in my stop sign video as samples looped in Kontakt and improvised on an 88 key controller in 17 equal notes per octave. Not something you'd listen to for enjoyment.

This is a combination of field recording, slicing up a guitar performance into loops, using loops and effects that came with Sonar X1 in Sonar's matrix view with a bit of editing of the matrix performance.

Completely awesome! What a masterpiece, Chris!! Your vocals are on fire in this setting and the musical arrangement is blazing!!

Well, I should give some background. Sometimes, for me, the difference in tunings are hard to discern - I don't have perfect or even good relative pitch discrimination. So I can get fooled. The Prelude for a Centaur tuned piano was actually composed…

More sinister beautiful - wonderful playing!

One could use this to compare the changes I made to accommodate the change in tuning because this is the Centaur tuned piece but I changed the master tuning back to "standard" 12 equal.

If things start to look like that while one is driving, I would suggest pulling over and calling a cab!

naw, I have nothing to do with NMC or DJNS. I was a part of 2 star man and that was enough for me!

Full picture of the guitarron body - it sounded great - nicely deep. The guitarron is fretless with a very short neck which reminds me of a giant Oud - the wikipedia article will give you an idea of just how huge this thing really is…
