[LAD] Internally representing pitch : A new approach

[harryhaaren at gmail.com]

Hey Everybody,

I've been thinking about the "best" way to represent tonality & pitch in  
software. AFAIK most software implements thier "internal workings" as MIDI  
messages. This seems a clean easy solution, pass around 3 values and the  
whole Engine is sorted. But what if one wants to expand on the  
possibilities of MIDI, and not confine oneself to the 127 notes that are  
available, but rather allow the use of *any* tuning, pitch or scale.

Scala seems pretty much designed to handle this kind of situation, and  
while I can read the example .scl files, I can't find any example "host" or  
simple example program to guide me along in how to use it...
So that's the question here really, how does one go about it? -Harry
