Testing practicality: FTS and Scala

I posted this to the original 'tuning' list earlier today, but
everyone is busy yadda-yadda-ing about 72tET and blackjack and
whatnot. Let's see if anyone here has some answers. Message goes like
this:

I'm going to get things arranged here at home to start working on a
music project(s). It will be microtonal, and I want to start
assessing my situation. Could some kind soul(s) put up links to where
I can find:

- Fractal Tune Smithy
- Scala

For the moment I will work begrudgingly with my 2 TX81Zs and a DX11,
at least to do the composing; I will want to find better sound
sources and replace sounds that way, either through a software
solution (Csound or other) or find people that maybe would make .wav
files if I send a midi file, and then assemble them in the digital
audio realm.

If anyone has other ideas, let me know. The other gear is in moderate
supply (Korg Wavestation, Roland JV-1080, Sequential Circuits Prophet
5), but outside of the limited re-tuning of the Prophet it is my
understanding that you can't remap large new tunings to the other
boxes.

TIA,
Jon

Maybe they just don't "like you" Jon...

That may very well be the case. If so, it also completely shoots down
any false claims that the tuning list is indeed still the primary
source for practical and useful information for making non-12tET
music, because colleagues who were actually concerned with such
matters would eventually see the benefit of sharing the information.
The Tuning List, where you can find out all you need to know if you
never disagree, plant lots of fake compliments, and pretend to go
along with the program.

Frankly, I'm planning on giving it some time, as I know that my post
(afternoon PST) was probably late in the eve for someone like Manuel,
and Robert and I have had a number of friendly chats. It most likely
just got lost in the sea of other stuff.

But in this case, I could have actually personally thanked you, since
I know these are both programs that you've used extensively. I guess
there was no need to let me in on links or URLs, when it is so much
easier to insult me with a one-liner. Thanks.

Anyhow, I meant this to go to that other weird list, crazy_music.
Which it did, eventually.

Good luck with your colored keyboard,
Jon
