Hello,

Would it be possible to have more scale in the Midi Transform module ?

Thank you

Perhaps you can just set it up to read Scala tunings files. These are standard for doing microtuning.

I can't create a new topic yet, so I will put this under here.

edit:

But it didn't have much to do with anything, so I've edited the original comment and am posting the other one separately.

+1 for microtonal scales!

Yeah scala tuning files would be fantastic...I am also looking to working with microtuning applications

good idea except that MIDI standard doesn't support micro tunning! :P
so microtuning in MIDI transformer is just totally impossible...

The Tobybear Microtuning vst sends a pitchbend message along with every midi note. http://www.tobybear.de/p_midibag.html
Yes, that is maybe not an elegant solution.
To build a synth with the usine oscillators we would simply need a midi note to frequency converter that can load scl files. Even better:
a note to frequency converter where you can enter either the note values in cents or the ratio towards the first note for every note. Just like in a scl file. This way morphing between sales would be possible.

using the pitch bend is not suitable in the general case.
but this solution is a good candidate for a micro tunning patch?

Midi does have a standard for microtuing, although I don't know how many plugins support it and how practical it is to implement.
Ivory Grand Piano is the one I know of supporting it: http://www.synthogy.com/news/announceme ... 2508a.html

It would certainly be good if there were more diverse scales - if not microtonal (yet) certainly some pentatonic scales and modes would be useful

this midi implementation is very complex and outside the scope of midi transform module.
also it has been specified lately with sysex.
the best thing is to implement it with PB inside a script.

Any candidate or scripting?
