And no one's even mentioned how Perfect Pitch occurs in Spectrum (from mild Aspergers to full blown Autism) at an off the charts rate, way more than the general (non-Spectrum) public. -

I've seen you say that a number of times now that nothing that you are reading (including the links I provided) disproves the point in your original post. The problem is that your original post made 3 fuzzy points and you're never being clear about which of those points your are referring to and what aspect exactly. It would probably help to understand your argument a lot if, in your replies, you re-iterate which of your original points you are talking about and elaborate on how the particular source of information relates to your points and whatever argument you are making. Vague statements, like, there is "no absolute proof" doesn't mean anything. In science, there is never, strictly speaking, absolute proof of anything. There is just more and more lines of evidence, resulting in higher and higher levels of confidence by scientists specializing in the area. -

That was the first time I viewed Rick Beato's video on pitch memory (aka "perfect pitch"). It makes a lot of sense. I know I said I wasn't going to discuss this any more, but Rick Beato's videos can have that effect on a guy. 🙂 The main points I got from it are: - There's a gene for pitch memory "savvy", possibly. - Asian people (who use pitch differences in speech more than Westerners) have that gene more often, possibly - Babies brains are more receptive to learning (i.e., remembering things) until a certain age. Then they're 'done'. - Babies that a) have the gene (maybe?) and b) are taught music at a high level(not proven), are more likely to develop pitch memory. (This was posited by Rick as a theory, but IIRC, he didn't know for sure) than babies who grow up in a "low-level" music environment. - Even though these theories sound believable and plausible, there's still no absolute proof of them. Nothing about these points, taken together, I believe, disproves the point I made in my original post. Remember, the "notes" (i.e., pitches) these babies are learning (remembering) are not objective things in nature, they are societal constructs. I'm not saying tonal music is not a product of nature, I believe it is (coming from pitch and overtone relationships - fifths, fourths, etc). What I am saying is that the "starting point", i.e., the frequency assigned to a starting note, "A", let's say, are not objective things. They are agreed-upon standards. "Let's agree that A is somewhere around 440 hz" Various countries: "Ok, we agree, but we're going to use 442" Other countries "Sorry, we agree, but we're going to use 444". You get the picture. -

I like that whole crowd, particularly Falkner and Brion. My band had the pleasure of playing on a bill with Falkner at the International Pop Overthrow festival in LA in the late 90’s. He did a solo set and was fantastic. -

Pretty sweet sounding to my ears. I would be interested in an UB-Expander to go along.

Echoing the thanks for this review!! Thoroughly enjoyed the videos on the early development. I can only imagine the dedication needed to develop this and demonstrate it with that PC Keyboard!! -

Mark thanks so much for this in-depth review. I don't have much of value to add beyond I'm fascinated by the Misha, and it's now on the list to buy if / when I make the eurorack plunge. I've been tempted on Eurorack for 3 or 4 years now but don't really have the room to kick much off. But the interest has not faded. Because of the lack of USB MIDI, it doesn't work in my setup as a desktop unit sadly.
