Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm just wondering how you would rate the importance of program which<br>
dynamically assigns pitch and velocity to incoming events to be able<br>
to work with multiple key/scale simultaneously?<br>
<br>
It's a bit of an experiment but I'm thinking it might be useful in<br>
live situations for the electronic/dance/glitch/etc orientated<br>
musician, but it might also happen to work out as a fun/toy program<br>
for people play|learn-ing about music and scales (possibly).<br>
<br>
Would anyone consider output of notes in multiple scales important in<br>
either of these situations?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Evidently in musescore one can enter non-standard (by western standards) key signatures like only an A-flat (rather than the usual B-flat) or even an F-# and a B-flat etc.<br>But it does not 'understand' these key signatures when playback-ing.<br>
ie with standard western signatures it plays the correct notes but with these 'home-made' signatures it just plays everything natural.<br><br>Dunno if all this has anything to do with anything you are asking.<br>
