Zinc & Copper play collective composition 'Well Tuned Brass' at KM28 on November 9th 2021. 'Well Tuned Brass' uses a backing track played live on the Hayward Tuning Vine.

Here are two recordings from my project Minor Tom, using the Tuning Vine as a basis!

Hi Robin,

I just ran in to Philipp Moser and he sent me a link to your app. I am now playing with the demo version and I find it very interesting!  I have been experimenting with micro tunings on various synthesizers recently, but your app offers a far more intuitive interface than a retuned piano keyboard.


However, as it stands it would be of limited use to me because I don't have any other way of sounding notes other than turning them on or off with mouseclicks. I read some posts about adding MIDI here but these seem to be about adding MIDI output. Are you considering adding MIDI input as well? I would be very interested in purchasing this app if I could somehow map a (grid based) midi controller to the nodes on screen. Even just mapping a midi piano keyboard would be very interesting, since the app gives so much visual feedback. This could make it very promising as a software instrument, even with the limited sound sources now available. Especially if you could add a simple ADSR type envelope.

About MIDI out: are you familiar with the Madrona Labs soft synths, Aalto and Kaivo? These are very nice synths with a lot of sound shaping potential and they already have the option to load custom scales, so this might facilitate integration?

All best,

Chiel

From 2017 and on, all my music found on my YouTube channel has been composed using the Vine (featuring Zinc and Copper and Ensemble Musikfabrik):

Here is my conference ''Numbers-based musical harmony'' (in French with English subtitles), using the Tuning Vine :

Hi Everyone!

First of all, thanks very much for developing this great software.

I've just bought the license for Tuning Vine version 1.5.0

When I was on trial mode it was working fine with my audio engine but when I bought the license suddenly I get this error "Failed to open audio device Core Audio". 

I don't know why it sets my printer as default audio drive and then I cannot change it back to my audio interface UAD apollo twin x, which was working perfectly fine on trial mode.

My system specs are Mac OS Catalina 10.15.1


Thanks very much!

The latest version of the Hayward Tuning Vine is v1.5.0, released on March 15th 2021.

This is a free update for all users of previous versions with the following additions / changes:

1. Prime numbers 29 and 31 added, appearing as brown and mint nodes.

2. Full chromatic scale dropdown menu for selecting 1/1 Note in Options, making it no longer necessary to do any maths when resetting the 1/1.

3. Central black node turns pale when 1/1 is shifted.

4. Automatic / manual check for application updates included.

5. Bug fix: mouseover now working correctly between larger nodes and small (green) overlapping nodes.

6. Bug fix: unintended raising of active cards by mouseover of inactive nodes corrected.

7. Bug fix: cents always shown between -49 and +50, throughout entire range.

8. Bug fix: Options dialogue no longer opens multiple times.

Please note that v1.5 is compatible with Windows 7, 8 ,10 & OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) to 11 (Big Sur) desktop operating systems (and known to work through Wine on Linux). It may not work on earlier operating systems!
