[linux-audio-user] tuning freaks

[Dave Phillips]

Greetings:

  As I'm sure many of you know, Scala support is already present in 
ZynAddSubFX and I think at least one other Linux softsynth (ALAS Modular 
maybe?). I'll cast my vote for its inclusion in anyone's synth or 
sequencer, I've had great fun playing around with Scala scales in the 
Zyn synth.

  So yeh, Dave, where's that sequencer ??  ;-)

Best,

dp
