Re^4: utf8 hash keys revisited: How can i use musical symbols as hash keys?

Update/clarification: Since MIDI notation does not directly support enharmonics, one way this can be emulated is via after touch. Even if the MIDI is not sent to a synth (hardware or software), the nuance can still be represented (even if imperfectly).

~~To add subtlety the notes, After touch can be used on some synths. (Pitch Bend applies to all notes on a channel while After Touch applies to a specific note.)~~

"After touch can be used on some synths. (Pitch Bend applies to all notes on a channel while After Touch applies to a specific note.)" Sure, may be. But IMHO nobody mentioned synths, Aftertouch or Pitchbend in this thread. So what? Regards, Karl ŤThe Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostropheť	[reply]

in Re: utf8 hash keys revisited: How can i use musical symbols as hash keys?, Laurent_R mentions "I am really not convinced that a virtuoso violonist or cellist, or an opera singer, would consider them as equivalent and would play exactly the same tone" Then in Re^2: utf8 hash keys revisited: How can i use musical symbols as hash keys?, you mention "Some do and some not" Since MIDI notation does not directly support enharmonics, one way this can be emulated is via after touch. Even if the MIDI is not sent to a synth (hardware or software), the nuance represented by after touch is still within the realm of the concept (however imperfect the emulation).	[reply]

Hi RonW, thank you very much for clarifying this. I didn't do any MIDI stuff yet, so i wasn't aware of this. But your hint will be mentioned in dispatches ;-) If you are interested why i do this: Read more...
