Ok,

Yesterday I purchased a Roland GR-20 kit. This comes with a hexaphonic
guitar pickup which picks up each string and converts your playing to
midi.

Using that and a soft synth I played my guitar in Carlos Alpha tuning
with a piano sound. The output is glitchy (I've only had about an hour
playing time) but not too bad. All I did was increase the tempo by
twice to make this improvisation flow better. All of the weird bends
are there even though they shouldn't be... I'm working on that.

This of course opens a new avenue for me and microtonal because the
construction of the guitar makes certain intervals easier to play.

with your scale just yet)
