ABSTRACT:
The meantone temperer external device is used in conjunction with a keyboard or other musical instrument. The meantone temperer is used to temper the connected musical instrument to any desired meantone-tempered scale, which is selected by the user. This device is operated by simply entering the desired temperament on the input keypad and pressing the "temper" button. Calculations are then made and the results are stored in RAM. When the user strikes a note on the musical instrument, a value is pulled out of RAM corresponding to the note struck. This value is then multiplied by the corresponding octave multiplier in ROM and the tempered note is sounded.
