This is a survey of about maybe a fifth (at this time) of wakalix and superwakalix tunings devised by Gene Ward Smith and Carl Lumma (others?). The midi files *require* the use of the corresponding scala files in order to reproduce the pitches heard in the mp3s. These are raw unedited improvisations created to give a quick hearing of the tunings I tried.
