It plays the exact ratios for 2 seconds, then the equal temperament for 2 seconds, then repeat. Equal temperament really sounds wrong when contrasted directly with the exact ratios...

The effect is maybe more subtle, but still very noticeable when everything is taken one octave lower, i.e. based on 220 hz.

Interesting, I didn't realize harmonic beating could be generated digitally.
