Call for tuning files and documentation

🔗Aaron Andrew Hunt <aaronhunt@...>

I would like to expand the functionality of CSE (free cross-platform microtonal scale editing software
<http://www.h-pi.com/CSEsoftware.html>)
to export and send tunings in formats supported by whatever retunable software or hardware synths anyone uses. Since I can't buy everything on the planet or spend countless hours pouring through confusing documentation for this purpose, I need your help! If you use some software or keyboard that supports retuning using its own unique tuning table format, please send me a file or send me clear documentation which will allow me to implement the format in CSE.

So far CSE supports .scl and .tun files, and it's own .cse files. I am also developing an open transport xml format called TuningXML, which is not yet implemented. So far, a universal tuning script for Kontakt will be part of the next CSE release (thanks to Robert Strauss for pointing me to the free Kontakt demo download which included the scripting documentation which was all I needed for this - luckily NI docs are quite clear). I would like to include as many formats in the next release of CSE as possible.

Please contact me by email or use this form and I will send you an email address to which you can send whatever documents are necessary:

Thanks for your help!
Aaron

OK, I find on Wendy Carlos's page mention of this
document:

"Alternate Tuning Guide for the K1000, K2000,
K2500, and FS 150 Synthesizers"

.. which sounds useful, but, uh, the file formats
available for download there are about 20 years
old? ...

Does anyone have a plain text version or an updated
version of this document?

Thanks!
Aaron
