Nice.
Hey... The Swing one sounds familiar... have you played Quiplash?
No, I've never played Quiplash but have just looked it up. I found one piece that was swing-like, but didn't think it was that similar. It's quite a generic style, though, so I suppose you could consider it similar :-)
I really really love the two microtonal ones there.
Do you remember what is this scary choir in "menuLoops_microtonalEerie(17EDO)" ? I'd love to have it!
Also did you ever hear about ZIA (AKA Elaine Walker) ? I think you'll love her music.

Thanks very much for your comments on this and other pieces. Much appreciated :)
> Do you remember what is this scary choir in "menuLoops_microtonalEerie(17EDO)" ? I'd love to have it!
The patch is part of the default install of Yoshimi. It's in the Fantasy bank, patch 14, "Glass Voices". I think I probably only adjusted things like the ADSR and did some light filtering.
Yoshimi was originally a fork of ZynAddSubFX, so the same patch may be in there too.
FYI, the other patches are also in Yoshimi:
SynthPiano, patch 5, Synth Piano1
The_Mysterious_Bank, patch 70, sine_pad_3
Pads, patch 6, Square Pad 2
Noises, patch 33, Metal Sound 1
The_Mysterious_Bank, patch 133, strange_world
I can upload some MIDIs if you want to recreate any tracks and play around with them. Just let me know.

Yes, I have heard her stuff - it's very good. It's nice to have someone else on OGA who likes microtonal music. There probably aren't many of us :)

Oh hi! Looked around your soundcloud and all profiles, thought you weren't online anymore.
I never heard of that Yoshimi plugin, I tried to look into it but it seems to be Linux and I'm on PC :/
Sounds pretty similar to ZynAdd as you say though. This one too I've been trying so much to compile it on Windows (with windows-based instructions) but I didn't get anywhere so I eventually just abandonned it.. sucks.

Oh yeah I definitely feel that as well. Maybe I should start uploading some microtonal music I made for some jam games. I am a newbie at music and composing for now but trying my best haha.
Will you be creating some new microtonal music soon?
Yes, I'm on GNU/Linux here and don't use any Windows stuff. Hopefully you'll manage to compile ZynAddSubFX one day, as it's really good and supports scala tuning files.
