Let's Talk Tuning!!!! Electronic, Acoustic, Challenges.

[margaret noble <margaretnoble2000@yahoo.com>]

Hello List,

First, thanks for all your input on my noise posting. I must say the biggest change was separating my power cables from the audio cables!

Onto Tuning Now

Background: I have always relied on happy accidents or not cared about tuning. I like wild electronic music and world music with alternative tunings and it never seemed to matter. Also, since I mix in random sounds like toys or records, tuning is impossible to control. Recently, I have decided that I want more expressive control over what I am saying. I am trying to tune together an analogue drum machine which can't hold tune but makes kick ass basslines, a psaltery and kalimba. I am seriously pulling out my hair with this challenge. I want to pull it off but it t'ain't looking so good!

Questions (Clearly Subjective!)

- Is there a tolerable amount of cents you can be off when trying to be in key?

- When mixing in non-traditional sounds together, how disturbing is it to listeners if tunings are loose?

Subject: Electix Repeater for sale

Hello all,

Tom here, a silent memeber for many months now :)  I've been a HUGE fan of the Electrix repeater, and love my unit.  It's in great condition, and everything is functioning well.  Long story short, I've been using the RC 20 and 50 lately (mostly because of simplicity for gigging, as I have a large set up and carting the rack unit can be a bit of a pain...) and now have been writing and arranging with the RC's and the repeater is collecting dust (not literally though).

Has manual, and will include 2 flash cards, plus the skb 8 space rack unit if interested (which would be ideal for shipping as well; I live in Columbus Ohio).  Thought I would send this out before posting on ebay.  Price is negotiable, make me an offer! 

Cheers,

Tom Ulichny
