newbie help with microtonal cubase/logic

Hello, I was wondering how i might integrate microtonal scales in to
cubase or logic. I work with audio files (wavs, pd,jmax) so synth
software won't help me. Midi relay crashes my comp (dual pentiume 3
Win2k) in crazy ways, and I can't figure out how to hear the scales
on scala, let alone how to import the scale into cubase. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

hmmmm this fts might work then. I could definately do that for my nord micro
modular or VAZ modular, err yes that would work for pd and max/msp too

thanks :)
