I see. Well, either way, I still prefer thinking of scale converters
as something I may just plugin, rather than waiting for my favourite
sequencer to support the kind of scales I want. One multichannel
event processor plugin more or less in the net won't be a disaster -
and again, you *can* use 1.0/octave in the sequencer as well as an
alternative.

Oh. Well, when I said host I meant sequencer. I can't really say I can think of a better
way though.
Personally I'd leave scales out of the API and let the host
deal with it, sticking to 1.0/octave throughout, but I can see
the advantages of this as well.
Problem with letting the host worry about it is that the host
would normally not understand anything of this whatsoever, since
the normal case would be that a sequencer *plugin* controls the
synths. It would be a hack.
