TUNING SOFTWARE...

I am running into some serious problems when it comes to finding
tuning software that is capable of what I am looking for. The only
three types of software that I have found that are slightly
reasonable are the Midicode Synthesizer, Justonic music software, and
the Phi music generator. I am very serious about this, and I would
appreciate some serious answers to my search. Here is specifically
what I am looking for in tuning software:

1) Full keyboard scales with a large or infinite amount of available
notes within an octave. This would allow for large scales of any
number of constituent notes. Pre programmed scales would be nice,
but what I am primarily interested in is user programmable custom
scales of any length. These scales should be storable through memory.

2) I am looking for a tuning of individual notes with any degree
variation in hertz or in ratios from the tonic (in hertz). These
ratios should be able to be expressed in decimal numerators and
denominators. It should allow for very specific tunings in this area
with a sufficient amount of placeholders after the decimal point.
The cents option would be nice as well, but it is not as good, so it
is only optional.

3) I need software which allows the key change ability in real
time. The software must be able to recognize/analyze harmonic
structure and be able to change the reference tone in real time. I
do not want to have to use foot pedals or mouse clicking to change
the reference or have to preprogram it with a sequencer. These
inconveniences are completely ridiculous. Justonic software is the
best approximate which has this ability. The problem is that
Justonic only has a 12 note scale limit. This is stupid. I need
full keyboard scales or scales which have a large amount of notes
involved.

These three critera are critical, and I need software which is
fully capable of executing these essential utilities. I cannot see
why software such as this would not exist. If you are reading this
message and know of software that does this, please contact me at
PageWizard17@aol.com and inform me of this. I would greatly
appreciate this. If you are capable or know of people who are
capable of programming such software with the prescribed abilities I
have listed, please inform me if you are capable of doing so. I
would be very interested in being involved in the development of such
a process. This is very important. It is more important than
anything else musically that I have ever seen before. Anyone who
sees this as trivial has no place in it. I am only looking for
serious responses only. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Brent

how about Scala with an external module for 1 and 2 but for the real-time
changing i think your on the edge
if you have say a 31 tone scale would U still need to change the pitches
again?
John's adaptive program might help but i think that is Midi only
good luck
