Re: Researching micro tunings "hands-on" (SCALA)

[Ben Edwards <astralmnemonics@gmail.com>]

ok maybe I should rephrase... "digital micro tuning files will be as important as MIDI someday"  SCALA might not become the dominant code but it's pointing in the right direction, programming mutation of accepted music theory.  That's awesome Per that you can program and tune instruments like that.  I need to do more research.

There are many other file formats beside SCALA today. To convert micro tonal tunings between several formats I'm using Max Magic Microtuner:

Not that I know if it's better than the Scala editor, but it serves my needs perfectly well. I typically work out a suitable tuning in Logic (that offers global micro tuning support) and then I export that tuning, via Max Magic Microtuner, to tuning format of whatever third-party instruments I want to use in the production phase.

It could, indeed. The SCALA files are huge! I think it's a great tool for analyzing "world music" in a universal way.  Scala has been definitely underrated imo...
