Hello, as requested previously on this list, AlsaModularSynth 1.5.8 now has full support for Scala files. The new modules Scala MCV and Scala Quantizer can both load scales. Download ams-1.5.8 from http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net The Scale Archive can be downloaded from http://www.xs4all.nl/~huygensf/doc/scales.zip Use the SCALA_PATH environment variable to point to the location of the scale files (default: /usr/share/scala). ams-1.5.8/example_ams_demo_scala.ams is identical to the demo patch by Bill Allen but it uses a Scala Quantizer with South Pacific Pentatonic Xylophone tuning.
