Hi Ingo,

Out of tune-ness does not only come from the scale you use, but
also from the timbre that you use in a given scale (and of course the
combinations of notes you play). It can take some time before you
find a good combination, but there are some tricks.

So in the module I suggest, for *each* value of 'n', or for each
scale, you have *specific* combinations of notes and timbres that
sound good or don't sound good.

One advantage of the approach I suggested would be that you can
more easily modulate in equally divided scales than in other unusual
or experimental scales. It's also basic, a bit like the freqency divider,
so that should increase the possibilities for mis-use :-)
