Hi Sam!

For example: if the scale is C major, and the input is
C#, then what
should the output be?
Reasonable answers might include C or D, because these are the closest
notes (i.e. have the smallest distance from input to output, along the
scale).
So, your algorithm could simply "quantize down" (yielding C in the
example). Or, alternatively, you might prefer an algorithm that simply
"quantizes up" (yielding D in the example).
But I think you - entirely reasonably - hope for an algorithm that gives
the most musical result,
No. I am looking for something that will yield a steady
result and I
don't mind which of the two. That is the behaviour found in such
scaling/quantising features on the hardware I know about. Think Novation
Launchkey Mk3, Arturia MiniBrute 2S. I haven't worked with any quantiser
modules in the eurorack world, that support scales, but I think they
also use a static mechanism.

Best wishes and thanks,
Jeanette
