![]() The point of the WTC was not, “Hey, you can play music in all the keys now because they are all interchangeable.” The point was, “Hey, you can play in all the keys now, and they all sound a little different, so here’s some music that takes advantage of those differences for a range of emotional effects.” Instead, Bach tuned so as to give each key a distinct harmonic personality, with some a bit sunnier and smoother, and others darker and edgier. He wanted to have every key be usable, but he did not want them all to sound the same. The important idea here is that Bach split the difference between meantone and 12-TET. Go read Lehman’s papers for an explanation of how this would work. He interprets it to be a diagram showing the harpsichord tuning peg turns you make to change meantone temperament into Bach’s tuning. See the squiggly line across the top? Lehman thinks that it’s not a decorative doodle. Take a look at the cover of Bach’s main handwritten copy of the WTC: Bradley Lehman has a theory with a Da Vinci Code quality that sounds unhinged at first, but I find it to be convincing. Unfortunately, no one knows exactly what system (or systems) this might have been. ![]() However, in the past few decades, evidence has emerged showing that Bach used a different tuning system. None of the keys sound perfect, but all of them are at least tolerable.įor many years, musicologists assumed that Bach wrote the Well-Tempered Clavier (WTC) as a showcase for 12-TET. Rather than keeping some keys pure while making others unusable, 12-TET distributes the out-of-tuneness evenly across all of the keys. Given the limits of meantone, you can see why the Western world collectively abandoned it in favor of our current standard tuning system, twelve-tone equal temperament (12-TET). Gann explains why in The Arithmetic of Listening, his relatively accessible book about tuning. However, A major and E major are queasy, and B major and F-sharp major sound horrible. The recording starts with C major, which sounds beautiful. Kyle Gann helpfully illustrates this with a recording of all twelve meantone major chords. This system sounds great in C major and nearby keys, but the further away you move on the circle of fifths, the worse everything sounds. The main tuning system in Bach’s time was called meantone temperament. Western Europeans wanted to be able to change keys, however, and that required some tuning compromises. In Hindustani classical tradition, they opted for being in tune, so everything is in a single “key” defined by the omnipresent drone. The practical consequence is that your music can either be in perfect tune, or it can use more than one key, but it can not do both.

![]() This configuration can range from rudimentary (e.g. Therefore, the software must enable users to configure the digitiser and ideally read information from the amplifier (e.g. Along the same lines, the software needs to be able to output voltages via the digitiser, to allow control of the amplifier. The most obvious feature that any electrophysiology software needs to have is the ability to acquire data from the amplifier via a digitiser. There is the ‘must have’ functionality, that even the most minimalist software should have, there are capabilities that are ‘nice to have’ and there are additional features that are not necessary but can make life easier. We realise this list is not complete, but hope readers will find it a useful starting point for their own exploration.īefore we introduce the different options, we present a quick discussion of features that are common to electrophysiology programs and points to consider when choosing a software package.Įlectrophysiology software can have a wide range of features. In this article, we introduce several free electrophysiology solutions that we believe meet these criteria. And finally, the development life of the programs tends to be determined by the academic life of the programmer, leading to many solutions that have not been updated in a decade.ĭespite the bleak impression that the potential risks might inspire, sifting through the many options available, it is possible to find software packages that have sufficient support from the universities or funding agencies to offer reliability, documentation and in some rare cases even support. Indeed, quite a few solutions do not even have full documentation. Also, most of these programs do not come with technical support. The main risks of this type of freeware stem from the fact that they are researcher written: often the functionality is limited to that needed by the authors. Many programs support multiple digitiser families, including ‘outdated’ versions, which can be given a new lease to life by using such software. Most of these programs are written and maintained by neuroscientists, in some cases with strong departmental and funding agency support. Again, the price reflects the simplicity of using an integrated solution, but also the technical support these manufacturers tend to offer.Īs an alternative to the commercially available software, there is a wide selection of free alternatives available. pClamp, Spike2, AxoGraph, PatchMaster) can be expensive, and are in most cases tied to the manufacturer’s own digitiser range often only supporting recent digitiser models. The commercially available software packages for electrophysiology (e.g. This is where the third component in an electrophysiological measurement system becomes important: control and measurement software. Much of this equipment is fully functional, but not supported by the manufacturer’s newest electrophysiology software version anymore. Many university departments have storage spaces full of ‘outdated’ equipment. Another alternative that is often successful is looking through old departmental stock. The advantage of the general-purpose digitisers is that the user can choose a model that fits their experimental needs without paying for functionality they do not need. Often these tend to be more expensive than general-purpose digitisers such as those provided by, for example, National Instruments. Molecular Device’s Digidata series), in some cases as a single unit with the amplifier (e.g. There are dedicated electrophysiology digitisers available (e.g. Most of these simpler amplifiers are not computer controlled, which makes them software independent.ĭigitisers have a wide range of prices. ![]() with low noise, fast voltage-clamp) amplifiers. But with a bit of effort, it is possible to find lower or zero cost alternatives.Īmplifiers for electrophysiology are available from a wide range of manufacturers, many providing simple but good (e.g. While the simplicity of these integrated systems justifies the price, not all researchers have that level of funds available. Often, amplifiers, digitisers and software are tied into bundles, which are often perceived as expensive. Looking through the websites of many suppliers that might not be the first impression a researcher has. One important aspect of electrophysiology is that it has become possible to set up a rig, or indeed an entire lab, on a very limited budget. But even when not combined with any optical methods, electrophysiology is an extremely powerful toolset. ![]() Indeed, most imaging and optogenetics experiments rely on electrophysiology, either throughout the experiment or during characterisation and as control. ![]() The recent excitement over quickly developing imaging methods and optogenetics often hides the fact that electrophysiology is still the workhorse of neuroscience. ![]() To enable ReadyBoost to speed up your computer, connect a USB flash drive and use these steps: (If the device has an SSD, this feature won't be available since it won't offer additional benefits.) It's been around for years as a feature that uses a flash drive or SD card to cache files to boost the overall system performance. In addition, to use the defragmentation tool on computers with older hardware, you can also use the ReadyBoost feature to boost performance. This process can significantly improve performance because the drive won't have to erase the blocks during the writing data process. If you have a computer with an SSD, using the defragmentation tool will run the trim command to inform the storage device of the blocks with data that can be safely erased. (If you have an older system, it is best to leave the process running overnight.) The only caveat is that the process can take a long time, depending on the data stored on the drive. (If you do not see the option, click the "Show more categories" option to view the remaining items in the list.)Īfter you complete the steps, the tool will rearrange the files to make them accessible more quickly the next time they are needed, translating into noticeable performance improvement. Under the "Local Disk" section, click the Temporary files option.To free up space with to speed up Windows 10, use these steps: One way to prevent the storage from impacting performance is to use the Storage settings to delete temporary and unnecessary files to reclaim space. Usually, this becomes more evident after the drive is filled with around 70 percent of the total capacity. If the device has relatively new hardware and you notice apps, managing files, and other tasks are struggling to complete, it is likely because the drive is running out of space. Whether you have a traditional Disk Hard Drive (HDD) or Solid-State Drive (SSD), it's never wise to run Windows with a full hard drive because it will affect performance. If the app is not in the Microsoft Store, download the installer from the trusted source, and follow the vendor support website steps to install and configure the program.

If you are unsure, you can research online to get more information about the app. ![]() If the app is not in the store, only download apps from trusted sources and confirm they work on Windows 10. Typically, you want to install apps available from the Microsoft Store because they've been reviewed for security and performance. Only install good apps if you want to keep your device healthy and snappy. Also, just because an app comes from a company you trust does not mean it's a good app. Old and poorly designed apps and apps that load unnecessary features can negatively affect the performance of your computer.
