On IOS, talking tuner does an excellent job. It's paid, don't know how much it costs.

Does it still use Festival Voice?

Okay, hi folks, I'm back...
Will post something I recorded just now, after listening to great works by others on here.
So I would describe that thing as some attempt to mix and merge Arabic and Spanish/Andalusian music with a piece of BGT code using free qanun samples. So don't expect much from something played on the QWERTY keyboard. Feel more than free to have a look at my blog for more professionally-composed tracks.

Well, I wouldn't call that a song, George.
And I did use quartertones but as I said, it's something I made with BGT and I didn't bother to add microtonal support. Quartertones you would have in Middle Eastern music already. And this is also why I played al-Hijaz scale as it is used in both Arabic and Spanish music.

I found it quite interesting. I doubt I could've done something even remotely like that on a qwerty keyboard.

Uh, thanks...
I might post more recordings with those appish stuff I have made.

Okay, the next thing is some medieval/RPG loop I've been working on, and many instruments are still missing, but this is just to give you an idea and ask if anyone would be willing to help with adding more instruments. Note that I will credit you if you do, but you shall allow me to use the track for any purpose.

Detuned pianos do have their unique flavour but I would tune this one if my budget let me do that. I would also prevent clipping/distortion.

By the way, here's how my medieval thing has evolved.

Thanks...
You can code things with BGT that let you do pitch manipulation but the method I used is not that user-friendly. I had to calculate how much the pitch would increase or decrease in percentages if I wanted to raise or lower a note by a certain value (a certain number of steps in many cases). I assigned certain keys to each event. And each key was also assigned a sample that it played. I hope to post some demonstration soon.

I know it's out of tune, but my budget doesn't allow me to hire someone to tune it for me. On the other hand, I don't even think it's good, I play for making others happy and I'm glad if someone finds some enjoyment in my music.
I don't know what elten does with recordings though, because with a simple media player like VLC, it's not as distorted as here, I also hear what the problem is.
Your mediewal stuff is great though, but I feel like if it was missing something. This way it's too midi, emotionless and empty, but honestly I have no idea what would help.
