    Those is exactly the sort of educational content we need right now. Succinct, well explained and no pretense. Keep going and monetize!

    Honestly, your video looks like one of those wAcKy educational videos you watch in school. I love it, keep doing it

      Haha thanks. Have you seen "How to turn a sphere inside out"????

      I should watch it; it looks like if all my mocho from my nose's lifetime just got clumped together into a sphere

    Really cool. Like how concise you are in your explanation. That was helpful!

    Wow, great as always!!! I loved how the visualizations matched up with what you were saying. Honestly I think it’s one of your most visually advanced tutorials yet. Do you have plans to go through more scales this way? And when you talk about the triads that exist in each scale, do you plan to play through those?

    • @JLMoriart
      @JLMoriart  4 года назад +3

      Thanks! Yeah I tried to get at least an audio or visual aid for each thing I said, if not both. I'd love to do similar videos for magic temperament, hanson temperament, and more! When you say "do you plan to play through those", do you mean just, play each chord in succession? I could, but I'd probably rather keep things moving. The two times I talked about the porcupine scales' triads, the background examples did at least have one of each chord!

    • @stephenweigel
      @stephenweigel 4 года назад +1

      John Moriarty Yeah! There’s lots of ways you could play the chords; i’m not entirely sure what the best approach would be

    Dope tutorial, where can I get that Ls tree diagram @0:35 from?

    • @JLMoriart
      @JLMoriart  4 года назад +2

      Thanks! The Ls tree diagram from the video is sort of an expanded version of Erv Wilson's scale tree, but I don't think it exists anywhere else. Basically, each node of the scale tree is split into two pieces for the two opposite MOS scales (like 2L3s vs 3l2s) that converge at the equal temperament generated by that fraction of the octave.

      I released all the assets that went into this video to my patrons on Patreon, but it would probably be worth putting together a nice version of the graph and uploading it to the xen wiki...

    I wonder if this idea was adopted instead of the diatonic steps, would the major scale sound dissonant?

    • @JLMoriart
      @JLMoriart  4 года назад +4

      It's certainly possible that we'd find the diatonic scale less palatable if we grew up hearing music written in porcupine temperament =)

    Can you make a musescore plugin for me? I have a very simple plugin I need created and its not worth the learning curve for me to learn to do something one time. I can pay for your time and there is already a plugin that is close to what I want. Let me know here - Thanks

    • @JLMoriart
      @JLMoriart  2 года назад +1

      That's a definite maybe. What do you need it to do, and which plugin is close?

      @@JLMoriart I need an adjustable (height and width) frameless window, that gives a slight translucent hue to the area inside the frame- I need to be able to set color and opacity. It should be able to stretch the full length of the staff, and adjust up and down as well. The current "hello qml" plugin is close - its just not translucent and it has a frame. Let me know what you think Thanks - I can make you a picture if needed

      @@stephen285 I'm afraid I only just barely hacked through the logic to use buttons and a text field in the plugin I used as a base. Visual stuff is completely beyond me.
      My understanding is that MuseScore plugins are written in QML, so you could check out fiverr/upwork for a qml dev to implement your idea. Good luck!
