Subject: Porcupines on Absynth

Gene Ward Smith described a tuning on the tuning-math list that could be 
considered a sort of circulating 15-note scale; since I've recently been 
playing with Absynth 3 and retuning old MIDI files for practice, I 
decided to find out what the 15-ET Mizarian Porcupine Overture would 
sound like in this tuning. This is really pushing the limit of what my 
5-year-old system can do in real time, but I think it turned out okay. 
Percussion is the Edirol VSC.

Compare with the original 15-ET:

Here's the Scala file of the tuning:

Blackwood[15] with brats of -1
! generator g is unique real root of 9g5+20g4+80g3-128 = 0
