Scala is definitely the app for you. To play the actual scales it
generates, you would have to feed the scale data to a synthesizer that
supports it. There's a list on the Scala home page of synthesizers that
accept MIDI tuning dumps, but below that - and I'd recommend this -
there are synths that natively support Scala's scale file format.
I personally would use Pd or ZynAddSubFX, but if you're really feeling
adventurous you could also use CSound. I haven't even looked at the others.
I'm (probably the only one in the planet! :-)) a big fan of reading
tutorials and manuals, but I tried this one in a rush and I forgot to
read the recommended stuff on adding virtual MIDI ports. Once that was
done, Scala did recognize the MIDI virtual port without any trouble,
which I could feed (through aconnectgui) right into timidity, and then I
had no trouble with the sound (scala comes with its own on-the-fly
genereted keyboard, so it was straightforward to try TET-19 and many
other different, and awkward sounding, tuning systems).
So far, the only problem with Scala is that it segfaults when going to
Edit->Preferences, but all the other stuff seems to work fine.
Thanks,
Ángel de Vicente
