You'll wanna watch out for A. It aliases more. I'm a professional, so I only use high quality notes like D and F.

And I make crunk so note quality is important.

That's all just for beginners. Once you start playing the H it all really starts!

It's funny that this thread would come up today, in a different thread I was just trying to inform you about the key of 'S' being demonstrated so very masterfully by Jack Morgan.

Here is the the link once more:

I think the key of 'S' is the future.

In order to keep this discussion intact, here is my thread:

I hope to welcome you there to further collectively ponder this magnificent future of music production.

wait a minute, I own the patent on H, are you sure you didn't mean 'I' which I haven't got round to inventing yet?

Actually I patented both 'H' and 'I' long before you to be able to play a welcoming tune.

prove it. although I still can't play a welcoming tune (I find I need notes L - P for that kind of thing)

Years ago, while John Cage was pounding furiously away on his piano -- composing his famous 4'33" -- I wandered into his studio, sat down, and started taking notes.

By the time I was done, there were none left.

And that, children, is how musical history is made.

FYI, german-speakers DO use H (don't ask me why)

their H is what we know as B
and
their B is what we know as Bb

I find it nuts

I do think the notes do a good simulation of each other though...

I always suspected it was that way so there could be a clever bit of thematic play involving the letters B-A-C-H. =^_^=

That would have been the piano with the strings removed?

that was one of my thoughts... any truth behind it?

The H thing is what allowed Bach to 'sign' his name in some of his music..

I have played around with this. Once I wrote an instrumental called 'Headache Cafe'. The first part was a riff of H E A D A C H E played as quavers (8ths) which is actually a dandy riff, with a tune over the top made up from 'compatible' lyrix:

Ahhhhh
He had a fag, gagged - DEAD
Caged
Cabbage
Dead
Ahhhhh

and so on..

Then it broke into the 'Cafe' part - a lighter jazz piece, based around a chord progression CM7 - AM7 - FM7 - EM7, and finally reprised the Headache theme in the fade out.

It was on my QY10 for a while, I don't recall recording it on to my fourtrack (we're talking 12 years ago here..).

Oh well!

Oh they were there alright.. it's just Meffy took the notes. The strings vibrated but no sound issued - they eschewed issuing their vibrating continuum, if you will...

Brilliant! Even better than ABACAB by Genesis. (that's a riff in the song, but transposed to GAGBGA)

I was lead to believe that it was to do with the song structure, but could never quite work it out.. but it obviously wasn't a proper transposition, as it should be GAGBbGA to preserve the intervals...

Oh well!

G or A?
