class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>Before we can talk about the tips for synthesizing an African balafon style xylophone sound, I need to go over some background.</p><p><strong>Simba Arom and Frederic Voisin conducted an ethnomusicology study where they asked master African xylophone tuners to tune a Yamaha DX7 II synth. </strong></p><ul><li>They created a sound with an inharmonic spectrum.</li><li>What is an inharmonic spectrum?</li><li>Instruments like drums and straight bar xylophones have partials that don’t approximate the harmonic series.</li><li>That in turn affects how the instrument sounds, and by extension, it also affects the tuning.</li><li>Starting with the inharmonic sound they’d created, Arom and Voisin taught the master tuners how to adjust the pitch and timbre on the DX7 II.</li></ul><p><strong>To Arom and Voisin’s surprise, the master tuners did not go </strong><strong>for a natural sound:</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Because the original sounds included inharmonic components… the synthesized timbres must also contain inharmonicity… contrary to what can be observed with the original instruments, in fact, musicians demanded that all slats of a single xylophone present a homogenous timbre.</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Furthermore, their optimal judgment of the correctness of the tuning presented to them occurred when all the slats of the xylophone were close to the ideal timbre obtained by synthesis. (“Theory and Technology in African Music.†<em>The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music: Africa</em>. <span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;" href="https://search.alexanderstreet.com/glnd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">263-265</a></span>).</p><p>The DX7 II’s programed inharmonic spectrum forced the scale into an approximation of equipentatonic (i.e., 5edo) tuning, which the authors felt represented a conceptual ideal. <strong>Once the ideal tone color was found, then the ideal scale could be created.</strong></p> </div>

information and we’ll be able to go over the tips for synthesizing an African balafon style xylophone sound.</p><p><strong>In <em>Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale</em> William Sethares talks about how tone color and harmony go hand-in-hand.</strong></p><ul><li><span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;" href="https://www.amazon.com/Tuning-Timbre-Spectrum-William-Sethares/dp/1852337974" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sethares</a></span> analyzed music from Indonesia (approximately 5edo) and Thailand (approximately 7edo).</li><li>He found that consonance and dissonance in both harmonic and inharmonic spectrum instruments can have a direct impact on a scale’s tuning.</li></ul><p><strong>Sethares’ goal was to take samples of instruments and make the partials more inharmonic to match them better with the 5 and 7edo tunings.</strong></p><p><em>Conversely, I like matching the unaltered instrument sound with its ideal tuning. </em>For example, slendro (approximately 5edo) sounds good when played on metallophones, such as you find in the gamelan orchestra. <em>It sounds even better when played on bamboo xylophones.</em></p><p>However, take those same scales and play them on a piano, and it doesn’t sound good at all. Change the music’s tone color by switching instruments, and you’ll dramatically impact whether the tuning works or not.</p><p><strong><em>Try it.</em> Tune your synth to a 5edo scale (see the cent values in the next section). Play it with a piano sound. </strong><em>Then, switch your synth to a metal xylophone sound (like a vibraphone or a glockenspiel) followed by a wooden xylophone sound and see what you think.</em></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section

data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>Finally, we can now talk about the tips for synthesizing an African balafon style xylophone sound.</p><p><strong>The important takeaway: you need to marry the right sound with the right tuning.</strong> <strong>Arom and Voisin state:</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Our experiments in Central African Republic uncovered a scalar concept that relies on three sizes of… intervals – 200, 240, and 280 cents, of which [the] variance does not exceed plus or minus 15 cents…</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">Furthermore, all the… musicians accepted equally a modal series containing a single interval of 240 cents, a perfect equipentatonic tuning… (<span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;" href="https://search.alexanderstreet.com/glnd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">266-267</a></span>)</p><p><strong>In other words, the intervals between adjacent bars fell within these general cent ranges:</strong></p><ul><li>185 to 215 cents with 200 cents as the median pitch</li><li>225 to 255 cents with 240 cents as the median pitch</li><li>265 to 295 cents with 280 cents as the median pitch</li></ul><p><strong>This gives a wide range for tuning the intervals between bars, which means:</strong></p><ol><li>You should tune the scale by ear using these cent ranges as a guide to the size of the intervals between your keys. (<em>Note: You’ll need a micro-tunable synth.</em>)</li><li>Also, you’ll need to listen to a xylophone or metallophone sound while you adjust the pitch to get the ideal tuning.</li></ol><p><strong>Conversely, all the African master tuners found an interval of 240 acceptable.</strong> This means that you can just use a 5edo scale, and you’ll be in the ballpark of an authentic tuning:</p><p style="padding-left: 40px;">0 cents, 240 cents, 480 cents, 720 cents, 960 cents</p><p>Just make sure you use a xylophone or metallophone sound when playing this scale, because the tuning and tone color go hand-in-hand.</p><p>Have fun playing!</p><p>© 2023 Geoffrey Keith</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;"

consider using a more balanced tuning.</li><li><strong>Will you be playing in a chromatic style with a lot of complex chords, such as jazz?</strong> If so, just stick to the equal tempered tuned

First off, you can see that the two charts above have different cent values. This means that when a guitarist gets into an <span style="color: #000000;">alternate tuning</span> without using frets, the results will be different each time. Nonetheless, despite some differences, the two charts show that the two C wahine tuning tracks have a lot of similar cent values.</li><li>Beamer has given us no specific instructions on how to get into C wahine. However, he gets into F wahine by <span style="color: #0f16db;"><span style="color: #000000;">strumming</span></span> the open strings while tuning. This is a common way to get into alternate tunings, so he probably does that for C wahine as well.</li><li><strong>Are you new to tuning alternate tunings by ear without using frets? I suggest you try out some of the alternate tunings from <em>Tune Your Guitar Like a Hawaiian</em> before tuning C wahine by ear.</strong> <span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;"

He asked why I didn’t use 72edo instead of SET. I told him:</p><p>“Actually, 72edo would fit under the umbrella of Supplemented Equal Temperament. Really, I think of SET as a class of tunings. The tonal notes (the tonic, subdominant, octave, and to a lesser extent the supertonic) tune to equal temperament (ET). However, the modal notes (the mediant, submediant, and leading tone/subtonic) tune closer to pure than ET does.</p><p>“72edo has near pure major 3rds (383.33 cents). Also, it contains all of the equal tempered notes, so it works as an SET type tuning. In addition, this means that 48, 60, and 96edo could also be considered SET tuning systems.†[<span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;" href="https://successmusicstudio.com/tune-your-ukulele-like-a-hawaiian/#cents-and-equal-temperament" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here</a> <span style="color: #000000;">for a definition of cents.</span></span>]</p><p><strong>I created none of these EDOs – they predate SET. This demonstrates the flexibility in the Supplemented Equal Temperament model to accommodate other tunings.</strong></p><p><strong>The charts below show the 48, 60, 72, and 96edo.</strong> <strong>Also, I’ve included rotated versions of the charts so mobile users can read them.</strong></p><p><strong>For best results, rotate your phone 90 degrees.</strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-83dc339 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="83dc339" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a4458c0" data-id="a4458c0" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-cf40a21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="cf40a21" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h4 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-small">How to Figure Out the Note Names on the Charts</h4> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f7492d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="2f7492d" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cc9fbc7" data-id="cc9fbc7" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-070e87c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="070e87c" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>If you look at the charts below, the blue cells indicate the cells labeled as the note C. The yellow cells contain the ET notes arranged in the circle of 5ths. Also, all the other rows have been arranged in the circle of 5ths. From these clues you can figure out the note names of all of the cells on each chart.</p><p><strong>This keeps all the notes uniform from chart to chart.</strong> It also avoids strange enharmonic equivalents, which allows the theory to function much like music theory in ET. The only downside to this system is what I call <em>note labeling distortion</em>.</p><p>Note labeling distortion has to do with how the notes get labeled, which can be an issue at the extreme edges of the chart. For example, on the 2 cent resolution chart (not shown), all of the blue cells are Cs. This means I have a C as high as 364 cents and as low as 878 cents, which does not meet with Scala’s ideal for note labeling.</p><p>However, I did this because it allowed me to have note labeling consistency across the wide range of charts I worked with. <strong>Also, it relates to the philosophical underpinning of the system: making SET accessible to the widest range audience possible.</strong></p><p>This means that I wanted SET to be playable on <span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;" href="https://successmusicstudio.com/how-to-get-a-killer-sound-for-your-band/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ET instruments</a></span> (all ET instruments can play at least <em>some</em> notes that work with SET). I also wanted the simplest theory possible while being able to use tab and standard notation.</p><p>Thus, this shows a different type of flexibility in the Supplemented Equal Temperament model. If you stick to the notes nearest the center of the charts (C 0), all these things remain possible.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c0753ff elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="c0753ff" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6967563" data-id="6967563" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-bb323e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="bb323e2" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5173c85 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="5173c85" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9f176b6" data-id="9f176b6" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-d864b62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="d864b62" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>EDO Charts</strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-89f1d63 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="89f1d63" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-63083f8" data-id="63083f8" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-836ab6d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="836ab6d" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="158" src="https://successmusicstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/The-Flexibility-in-Supplemented-Equal-Temperaments-Theory-48edo-1024x158.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-23707" alt="The Flexibility in Supplemented Equal Temperament’s Theory -

Besides the preexisting EDOs discussed above, I have a 10 cent resolution chart that has a 390 cent major 3rd. Also, I have a 5 cent resolution chart with a 385 cent major 3rd. And two 4 cent resolution charts with 384 and 388 cent major 3rds respectively. This doesn’t even take into account the charts that have septimal elements (not shown).</p><p>In earlier posts, I’ve used the 2 cent resolution ear training chart as a place to start talking about SET. I like the 2 cent resolution chart, because the major 3rd lies close to the just intonation cent value. <strong>It works really well with the guitar tunings I’ve been posting about. In fact, the guitar tunings, especially open tunings, constitute one of the main driving forces behind SET.</strong></p><p>Note that the 2 cent resolution chart shown below has been reduced in size. At 600 notes, the full-sized chart would be too large to fit on mobile phones, even with a rotated chart. Therefore, the chart below has the 60 notes that composers will most likely need.</p><p>The gray cells (in various shades) on the charts in this post represent the tuning for quartertone and eighth-tone scales. Thus, it’s possible that composers will be able to combine quartertone music with just intonation elements if they so desire.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d11cf7c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="d11cf7c" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-33dae7c" data-id="33dae7c" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-396c09b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer" data-id="396c09b" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="spacer.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-spacer"> <div class="elementor-spacer-inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-86135bc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="86135bc" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c6dfeec" data-id="c6dfeec" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-8fc75d9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="8fc75d9" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SET Charts</strong></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3a120fe elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="3a120fe" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cec598b" data-id="cec598b" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-34a5bb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="34a5bb8" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="258" src="https://successmusicstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/The-Flexibility-in-Supplemented-Equal-Temperaments-Theory-10-Cent-Resolution-1024x258.png" class="attachment-large size-large wp-image-23705" alt="The Flexibility in Supplemented Equal Temperament’s Theory -

You just need:</p><ol><li>All of the equal tempered notes to be available.</li><li>The major 3rds need to be somewhere in the ballpark of the just major 3rd. (Though I like some of the well-tempered/meantone sized major 3rds – around 392 to 394 cents.)</li><li>The root of each chord has to be an equal tempered note, and the 5th often has an ET cent value. However, in some tunings the 5th can be tuned pure (not shown).</li></ol><p><strong>The closer your major 3rds get to just the better your tuning will sound. Nevertheless, this will also impact the flexibility of your chord voicings on guitar, banjo, ukulele, and really any fretted string instrument. Plus, it can impact how well your tuning fits on your keyboard controller.</strong></p><p>Also, some types of music will be better fitted to one tuning over another. I suggest you try out the different tunings shown in the above charts and see what you like best.

Like other old time players, he uses frailing or clawhammer right hand technique. Uncle Dave Macon, an early star of the Grand Ole Opry, had a major impact on Troy’s playing style.</p><p>In the video <em>Leroy Troy “<span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;" href="https://successmusicstudio.com/how-to-create-songwriting-rhyme-schemes/#grandfathers-clocks-songwriting-rhyme-scheme-mixing-it-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grandfather’s Clock</a></span></em><em>“</em>, you can see that Troy tweaks his banjo’s tuning on the 1<sup>st</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup> and 5<sup>th</sup> strings (from 0:11 to 0:22). I suggest you watch the whole video. It’s a hoot, and it’s also really, really impressive playing.</p><p><strong>Troy tunes without fingering any frets used as unison comparisons (comparing a fretted note to the same note on an adjacent open string). This goes right to the heart of how to tune like an authentic bluegrass banjo player.</strong></p><p>What does tuning without frets have to do with anything? First, the most common banjo tuning, open G, has the strings as: GDGBD<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo#Five-string_banjo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">.</a> This means that when you strum all of the open strings a G major chord will sound.</p><p>When a player uses frets, this forces the open strings into equal temperament (ET). ET makes a compromise between the number of notes an instrument possesses and the purity of the chords. (It gets technical, take my word for it.) Arguably the ultimate ET instrument, piano has compromised chords. The piano’s chords sound just barely acceptable because of ET.</p><p><strong>However, when a banjo player strums all the strings and adjusts them without using unison fret comparisons, the open G chord tunes similarly to how a choir would.</strong></p><p>How exactly does this affect the tuning? That question brings us to our next banjo player.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c315628

Caplinger, our second player featured in <em>How to Tune Like an Authentic Bluegrass Banjo Player</em>, is a respected bluegrass teacher and performer.</strong> I pulled the cent values in the chart above off of a tuning track on the CD that came with Caplinger’s method book <em>The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Bluegrass Banjo Favorites</em>. <span style="color: #0f16db;"><span style="color:

However, the 2<sup>nd</sup> string is a little low. We’ve seen this before in other tunings. The second string contains the major third of the open G chord. By lowering the major third, Caplinger makes the chord sound better – a more locked in tuning.</p><p>His tuning perfectly fits the <span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;" href="https://successmusicstudio.com/intonation-and-supplemented-equal-temperament/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supplemented Equal Temperament</a> <span style="color: #000000;">(SET)</span></span> model. <strong>I created SET to capture the essence of what happens in all these different tunings that we’ve been looking at.

Stillman gives a brief history of the slack-key guitar:</strong></p><ul><li>“The introduction of the guitar to Hawai’i is credited to Mexican cowboys, brought over in the 1830’s to manage cattle. Among Hawaiians who eventually assumed the skills and responsibilities of ranching, the guitar remained popular in times of leisure.</li><li>“The slack-key method developed largely in rural, and specifically ranching, contexts, and emerged in commercial recordings in the 1940’s†(“Musical Instrumentsâ€<span style="color: #0f16db;"><a style="color: #0f16db;" href="https://books.google.com/books/about/The_Garland_Encyclopedia_of_World_Music.html?id=HB03DwAAQBAJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> 389</a></span>). </li></ul><p><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Keola Beamer </span>and Mark Nelson further explain the history of slack-key guitar:</strong></p><ul><li>“For most people it is difficult to learn to play an instrument merely by watching it being played. Since the <em>paniolo</em> had only a brief exposure to the Spanish guitar the Hawaiians were in a position of having to invent a way of playing it almost on their own.</li><li>“The first problem that surfaced was how to tune the instrument. <strong>A logical first step would be to tune the six strings in relation to each other so that they made a pleasant sound when struck together. As it turns out, this can be achieved by loosening or slacking some of the strings.</strong></li><li>“One example would be to tune down from the standard EADGBE tuning to achieve a DADF<sup>#</sup>AD or a D <span style="color: #000000;">major chord.</span> <strong>Hence the phrase ‘slack key’ and the Hawaiian language equivalent, Ki (key) Ho’alu (to slacken, slack)</strong>†<span style="color:
