[LAD] Quantise MIDI note/frequency to musical scale: algorithm?

[Jeanette C.]

Hello Yuri,
thanks for your quick reply. -- Yes, simple mapping of one MIDI note to a 
frequency is easy, and the environment in which I work offers built-in 
converters for that.

But, how to best quantise chromatic notes to a given musical scale like C 
minor or B Dorian? I would probably need some method to do it for both MIDI 
notes and in frequencies.

Best wishes,

Jeanette
