Hi Neil,

To specifically answer the question is that I got the scale at the  
very first point: I played with that scale.

In Logic you go:  Files / Song Settings / Tuning. The setting affects  
all software instruments, all synths and the sampler. The  
architecture that makes this possible is that Logic's instruments are  
not plug-ins but rather part of the application. Third-party  
instruments can't be affected by Logic's preferences scale settings.

No, on everything! All Logic's software instruments are tuned  
globally. The western tempered tuning is just the default. As for the  
sample patch I did for EXS24 of my Strat (did another from my tenor  
sax) I recorded every note with the physical guitar. In the EXS24 I  
fine tuned the pitch of every note/sample, but this I had to do  
according to "the default" which is the western tempered tuning. So  
when I chose a different global microtonal scale the strat samples do  
follow as well as any softwynth does.

No. No scale defining in an EWI. Unless what you might do by instinct  
when modifying the pitch by biting the mouthpiece while playing.

In that clip only the electric guitar was played via the sampler.  
Everything else was played with the software synth ES2.

Logic's Guitar Amp Pro plug-in also deserves credits for the cool  
guitar sound. Not only did I sample the physical guitar when playing  
it through a tube amp and Marshall cabinet, I also ran the ESX24  
through the Guitar Amp Pr software amp sim.
