Electronic circuit http://www.musiclessons.nl/pure_intonation/electronic_circuit.html In de jaren tachtig van de vorige eeuw bedacht ik een manier om via een elektronische schakeling het stemmingsprobleem op te lossen. Met mijn idee ging ik in 1987 naar het toenmalige uitvinderscentrum in Rotterdam. Ik bouwde de schakeling in mijn elektronisch orgel en kon in elke toonsoort in de reine stemming spelen. Omdat het uitvinderscentrum er uiteindelijk niets in zag, publiceerde ik in 1990 mijn schakeling in het toonaangevende elektronicablad Elektuur dat ook in Engeland en Duitsland werd uitgegeven. Een aantal jaren later kwam de "hermode tuning" van Werner Mohrlok op de markt. Het uitgangspunt was het verstemmen van samenklanken vanuit de gelijkzwevende stemming. Dit leek als twee druppels water op mijn idee. Het verschil was dat bij Mohrlok de realisatie een computerprogramma was. In het filmpje dat hier wordt afgespeeld, laat ik het verschil tussen een reine stemming en de gelijkzwevende stemming horen. Dit wordt gedaan op het elketronisch orgel waarin ik indertijd de elektronische schakeling heb ingebouwd. Elektor Electronics, december 1990: PURE CONCORDS The piano, modern organ, and other fixed-pitch modern instruments are tuned to equal temperament, which means that each semitone is made an equal interval. In other words, the twelve tones in an octave are equi-distant on a logarithmic frequency scale, that is, each tone bas a frequency that is 1.059 times greater than the preceding frequency. The advantage of this type of tuning is that the instrument may be played in any key. The disadvantage is, however, that the tones are not tuned 'naturally', which is especially noticeable when concords are played. A perfect fifth should have a ratio of 2:3, but in equal temperament tuning that is 2:2.9966. That is a tiny difference, but it is audible. In a major third it is even worse: 4:5.0397 instead of 4:5. The circuit presented here offers a remedy. Equal temperament tuning remains the basis, but as soon as a chord is played, the circuit detunes the notes in such a manner that pure concords result. This is accomplished in a way different from that in some modern synthesizers where the tuning is switched to a different key by means of presets. The present circuit is in principle a main oscillator as found in an electonic organ. The oscillator signal has a frequency of 8.61696 MHz which is divided into twelve for the highest octave (here the fourth above middle C). The signals for the other octaves are obtained from these with the aid of binary scalers. A total of twelve identical dividers is required, one for each tone. Only two are shown in the circuit diagram: IC6-IC8 and IC9-IC11. All of them are preset. Presetting is used on the one hand to obtain a given pitch (with the aid of jumpers as shown in the tables), and on the other to detune the tones in accordance with the chord being played. Information for the detuning is contained in an EPROM that can control two dividers at a time. A total of six EPROMS is therefore needed: one each for C and C#, D and D#, E and F, F# and G, G# and A, and A# and B. The address inputs of the EPROMs are connected to the make contacts that are added to the keyboard. The octaves available on the keyboard are then applied to the circuit via OR gates formed by diodes. Bear in mind that the only action of importance for the detuning process is which of the twelve keys has been struck, not in which octave the resulting note belongs. This is fortunate, because that means that the size of the design is independent of the number of octaves available en the keyboard, apart from the number of additional make contacts and diodes, of course. In principle, all information for whatever note combination may be stored in the EPROMS. The present design is limited to that for 2-, 3- and 4-note chords; in all other cases, the equal temperament tuning is maintained. Finally, when during the shifting from one chord to another one or more notes are sustained, the detuning of the tones may become audible. In that case, a different way of playing, that is, waiting for the notes to die down before the next note is played, is the price for a natural sound. J. Peereboom
