Scala 2 SynthEdit Microtuner - Beta testers wanted

Hi - I've recently coded a tuning module for SynthEdit, and I'd be grateful
if a couple of folks on the MMM list would be willing to test it.

If you're not familiar with SynthEdit, it's a terrific Windows application
for graphical assembly of software synthesizers. It uses a voltage control
model of modular synth design so that audio components such as oscillators
and filters can be strung together with virtual 'patch cords' and saved as
VST instruments. I've developed a microtuner object for this model that
browses and loads Scala files for real-time polyphonic tuning.

The most notable feature of the microtuner is that it implements
real-time, ensemble scale and key change that can be 'played' by midi
note events, where key structures are themselves defined by Scala
files. If you're interested to learn more about it, I've set up a web page
for the microtuner at http://www.12equalboresme.com

Testers with SynthEdit experience would be ideal, but I also have a test
microtonal VST synth, and I'd like to get some idea about its
performance with various host and operating system combinations. The
only prerequisites are a reasonably up-to-date XP or Vista operating
system and a VST host such as Cubase or Sonar.

If you would be interested in trying it out sometime over the course of
the next two or three weeks, please email me at robert@...

Thanks,

Robert Strauss
