Scala
(see also the
Wikipedia article)
is
a powerful software tool for experimentation with
musical tunings, such as just intonation scales, equal and
historical temperaments, microtonal and macrotonal scales, and
non-Western scales. It supports scale creation, editing,
comparison, analysis, storage, tuning of electronic instruments,
and MIDI file generation and tuning conversion. All this is
integrated into a single application with a wide variety of
mathematical routines and scale creation methods. Scala is ideal
for the exploration of tunings and becoming familiar with the
concepts involved. In addition, a very large library of scales
is freely available for Scala and can be used for analysis or
music creation.
