George Secor (November 8, 1943 – March 2, 2020[1]) was an American musician, composer and music-theorist from Chicago.[2] He was the discoverer of miracle temperament and eponym of the secor.
As an inventor, Secor and Hermann Pedtke's Motorola Scalatron (1974) is an example of a Bosanquet generalized keyboard featuring a multicolored arrangement of 240 tunable oval keys, about which Secor said: "There is not much point in using this alternative keyboard for systems below 31 tones in the octave."[3] However, "even if it were completely impractical musically, it would make a wonderful prop for a futuristic movie."[3] Though its synthesizer capacities may not reach performance level, according to Easley Blackwood, "It has rock-steady tuning capabilities; you can always count on it to be right."[3] George demonstrating the micro-tonal keyboard instrument can be seen in this demonstration video.
George was also an accomplished musician and proponent of the Moschino Free-Bass Accordion system.
