No worries, I suppose I sounded rather defensive as well.  I do think RDJ is a genius, an incredible talent, and probably MY favorite user (although I'm uneducated) of a custom scale.  I just mentioned it as an example earlier because it had been in the press and provided an example of non-chromatic.

Would it not also be possible to use a normal chromatic quantizer like the DOEPFER! a156 and run its output through a precision /2 voltage divider  This would result in quarter tones, but I don't know if that's good enough for David's application.

Sorry if it came over like I was pointing the finger like that. It was just a mild poke, hence the wink smiley.

I meant just that, custom scales like RDJ uses, and I was in no way suggesting that he invented anything.

This thread is getting better and better! Thanks for all the other mentioned alternatives.
Nicholas what do you mean with AFX scales Microtonal tuning existed several decades before Richard D. James began talking about it last month ;-)

That A.Sys one doesn't do eastern or "AFX" scales either, only semitones in various configurations

Subject: 1 Quantizing to Alternative tuning

 

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a module or modules that could be set up to take control voltages and quantized them to a non western scale. I'm thinking about making a price of music that is tuned to harmonics and would like to be able to quantize sequencers, other controllers to pitches that I determine beforehand. I hope that makes sense.

Of course I could laboriously tune sequencers to the correct pitches but I don't know how to do this with say the output of a random or LFO source or ribbon controller etc.

Any ideas

David
