RockFlobster Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I'm wondering if anyone has attempted to create just intonation using HX Edit or Helix. It seems like it should be a thing that can be done but I haven't been able to crack it yet. Any tips? Many thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Forgive me but I don’t know what you mean by ‘just intonation’. I understand intonation in the context of guitar setup but not in your context. Can you describe your intent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm… not sure that how that would work using HX Edit or Helix, but the option to use any tuning you can think of should be feasible using your JTV and Workbench. I use lots of odd tunings on my acoustic, electric and Variax guitars. I also have a tenor guitar, banjo, mandolin and autoharp, for even more unusual tunings (Celtic, Indian, Arabic), but they usually need my Peterson Strobe for accuracy. Hope this helps/makes sense, even though I have no idea why you would want to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinDorr Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 If the OP refers with just tuning to tuning intervals that are all ratios of whole numbers I don’t think this is possible w/o external equipment (because the Helix family tuners do not support any tuning type but well tempered). That said I can’t imagine how one could play a standard guitar in just intonation because all the thread positions are also just supporting well tempered tuning. I am probably riding the wrong horse … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caledoneus Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 if by intonation you mean the tuning between a string up the fretboard, no... there is not way to affect that with the Helix, b/c it is a physical thing about the relationship between the neck/body/bridge/ect.

I am probably riding the wrong horse I think you are correct, I cannot see how "just"(pure) intonation would work on a guitar - it's not in keeping with Western styles of music. Also, I cannot comprehend what purpose this is meant to ultimately achieve using what is essentially a guitar amp and multi effect modelling device. Slightly baffled.
