Did someone say Green Oaks' "Crystal" is microtunable? If so, how does the
tuning work? Drag/drop? Menu-driven? Other?
Thanks,
Rick

No, it's not. We had high hopes to *get* it there, as the developer was interested and open to input. Alas, he has just gotten a new job and is putting all dev work on Crystal on hold.

I imagine it can be tuned on the fly with Scala or LMSO or FTS, but I'm not sure, and haven't tried it.

Cheers,
Jon

Sorry, Rick, I did not mean to leave that impression.

What I meant was Jeff, the developer of LMSO, is using LMSO to make
microtonal music with Crystal. This is his post to the Crystal group
in which he makes case for Glenn (Crystal's developer) to adopt MTS:

I do not know what LMSO does to retune Crystal - my guess it has
something to do with MIDI sysex messages but I'm sure Jeff can answer
that far more authoritatively (unless it's proprietary).
