Currently it's kind of difficult to work with microtuning in Audiotool, especially for scales with more than 12 notes. Here's some suggestions that would probably help:
-
Implementation of the Scala file format (https://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/scl_format.html): A lot of people who are already familiar with making music with microtones know about the .scl format, and it's a pretty common way to achieve microtones in programs that support it. I also think people should be able to type in tunings (in scl format) in a text box, like in Surge XT.
-
Generate Equal Temperament: Some of the most common tunings used are equal temperaments, which are tunings with only one step size. These can either be generated as either a number of divisions of a specific interval, or as the step size itself.
-
Save/Load Preset Microtuning: This would be pretty helpful for people who want to save time typing in tunings, or for people to share them. A good selection for some scales that Audiotool could provide in the preset bank are the preset scales in Scale Workshop (https://scaleworkshop.plainsound.org/), but also I think 17edo, 19edo, 22edo, and 31edo should be included as well because of their popularity
