turkish music

hi
I would like to know if i can compose traditional turkish music with
my SBLive sound card or is there any software that i can easyly
convert my sound fonts into turkish scales.
I made only one piano soundfont in "hüsyeni makam" which has only
to coma added notes rest is same with 12 tone. but it's a hard work
if I want it for every makam.

Yes, besides the Dd and Ad you could improve the intonation of the
other tones too. It's easy with my program Scala, you type the following:

mode/equal huseyni
set notation T24 (the Arel-Ezgi system)
show
@smithy

To see which makams are built in, type:

mode/all makam

You need to set up the program Fractal Tune Smithy to do what
you want, relay the messages from the MIDI-in port to the
soundcard for example. It uses pitch bend messages so you
don't need to change soundfonts.

First install Scala:

and then FTS:

Follow the instructions in the file fts_and_scala.html
