I second the recommendation for Yoshimi/Zynadd. In both you can configure the temperament in that Yoshimi interpretes incoming Notes. I *think* that some other synths like Alsa Modular Synth or Phasex will play incoming notes that are somewaht bended to non.standard scales as well. Best of luck :-) HZN By searching on Google I ended up on this page (http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/), which seems exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi, On 13/03/11 20:37, Karl Giesing wrote: 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.

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.

As for Scala, I have tried it, and all the mathematical stuff in the program seems to work no problem in my Ubuntu Studio (so for instance, I can easily see the frequencies that such a 19-TET scale should have), but I haven't figured out yet how to plug that information into something that will actually produce the sounds (apparently it should work with playmidi and timididy, both of them installed, but I didn't manage to configure it properly...
