It now resides in Florida. Before leaving H-Pi headquarters it appeared in the video posted here a few days ago. Next up will be a sleek blue TPX6. Check back soon.

Letter names for key regions are shown, followed by diatonic and chromatic halfsteps subdividing the fifth. More interval shapes will be shown in upcoming videos, with clarification on what’s actually going on in the master tuning.

Prototypes in the care of Oddmusic

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

This is actually old news. Back in June, fellow microtonalist Jacob Barton came to visit the H-Pi headquarters and pick up several prototype instruments to take back with him to Champaign-Urbana, for use in the recently formed Oddmusic ‘compositional co-op’ which resides at the Independent Media Center on the U of I campus. Andrew Heathwaite is also involved in the Oddmusic enterprise. I later made a trip to see the environs and add some additional equipment to the arsenal there. Although their focus appears to be acoustic inventions, they are obviously not averse to electronic inventions. Good things happening there; check it out if you are in the area!
