Thanks!
How do I load it into FM7?
Is it true that Li'l Miss' Scale Oven is Mac only?
Scale has too many features that I don't need.

In Scala you can do that as follows, first create the scale
you want and then, assuming you want a normal 12-note keyboard
mapping, type:

set synth 107
send/file mytuning.mid

Then you can send that file to the FM7 with a sequencer, or
Megamid which is in the directory where you installed Scala.

Yes, for real-time midi relaying. For retuning of midi-files however Scala
is
better, use the command "example/midi/mts".
