TITI LARAS
Learning Sundanese scales (tunings) from west java Indonesia
Freeware Program
Titi Laras (Basa Sunda) literally "Footbridge of harmony", means "Tuning System".
The goal of this freeware is to simplify the study of laras - the various tuning systems - (and derived scales) used by Sundanese musicians. The homeland of the Sundanese culture is in the highland of the western third of the island of Java in the provinces of West Java and Banten, Indonesia.
Our goal is to present the audio parameters of the laras so that the user can experiment with the idiosyncratic intervals, whose subtle nuances of temperament would be difficult to apprehend without such direct audio reference.
After the selecting the scale, the main window will display:
- The phsysical data:
- Distance between two notes in cents (1 cent =1/1200 octave).
- Notes in the 12 tone notatio.
- Frequencies of the notes in Hertz (Hz).
- The tones in notasi Sunda (Sundanese cipher notation).
- A short commentary including the source of the data.
The audio can be listened to via:
- Internal computer speakers.
- The sound card, and MIDI sound technology.
For more information please download the instruction guide in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) files.
