Microtonal Scales

scale windows

Yoshimi fully supports the Scala microtonal scale and keymap standard and can import these files directly. These are combined with Yoshimi specific tuning controls, and can then be saved and reloaded in our own XML format.

(controls)

Map Size is the number of notes actually mapped before a wrap around. This can be different to the number of map entries. If it is greater, the unmapped ones are regarded as silent. If it is smaller, the extra entries are ignored. If it is zero, then no mapping is performed but all the above controls are still active.

(text fields)

As of Yoshimi V 2.3.1 you can add comments to the text fields. These will be included in any exports, and also in saved scales (as shown in the example). They are not recognised by earlier versions.
